I don’t want to fire anyone either....but as a small business owner and physician, I’m getting hit from all sides here. The government is increasing my taxes, cost of employing people, and reducing my income...something has to give.

Fellow small business owner too - I know EXACTLY what you are feeling. The Obama team has NOBODY who has done what we do and therefore they have absolutely no clue, particularly when The One is a proto-Marxist.

While I agree that the Obammy administration has no one that has done what we do (i.e., run a business), I think that they know EXACTLY what they are doing....ruining the foundation of America, which is business.

They know the reason no one is hiring right now...which is because no business owner knows what the cost of employment is going to be going forward or what the business environment will be in 5 years moving forward in the states. They have the ability to extract political capital from the unwashed masses by blaming banks, business owners and putting forth ridiculous proposals to ‘increase capital’ to small businesses and allow capital expansion ‘tax free’...NONE OF THAT MATTERS.

Businesses have capital to expand, but will not until they can reasonably ascertain what the future holds. Look at my business for example...how can I hire, when I have NO IDEA what the ObamaCare mandate will a. reimburse me and b. cost me per employee. No way I hire now.

But don’t sell Obammy’s team short...to say they don’t know what they are doing is to give them the credence of ignorance...and I think that is far from the truth.
