How about businesses just start using Turbo Tax and making “mistakes”?

Can’t we get someone who is competent in this position?

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a big hole to dig out of, and we have to figure out how to do that in a way that's balanced,...,

The problem in a nutshell, Timmy thinks digging more will get us out of a hole.

There is a saying “Small business is the engine of the economy”.
In case you hadn’t noticed, “someone” is pouring sand into the oil. His BOSS is pouring sugar into the gas tank.
Any want a good deal on a very, very used car?

So says the tax-cheat who could not even figure out how to use TurboTax, and yet, was hailed as being brillant.........this country is sooooooooo fraked as long as this idiot, as with Bernanke and the AnointedIdiot, remain in position.

It will take decades to fix what these idiots frak up in four years..... =.=

...so the administration does not have to “shrink the overall size of government programs.”

Hey StatistSkunk, on the outside chance that you are indeed clueless, that is exactly what We The People want: shrink the overall size of government, a great deal of it going down to ZERO!

But who is kidding who, we all know that he is nowhere near "clueless," all of this is being forced down our throats; they aren't even attempting to hide it anymore.

I suspect what he is getting at here is, Social Security, Medicaid/Medicare and the like, since they are so prohibitively expensive. Well the days of grandma/grandpa getting free checks in the mail every month will soon be gone. It was a ponzi scheme to begin with. There will be no money left for any of these programs that are gutting the economy.

Who drew that picture of Geithner? It looks more like Kramer from Seinfeld.

You cannot have central planning with small businesses at the table.

Yes you can. unfortunately Small Business isn’t “at the table” they’re on the table. Lunch anyone.

According to Progressive Socialist if you have a privet sector job, YOU ARE RICH.

Some things never change..’Progressives’ always have hated the merchant class.
The only thing worse than socialism is ‘selective socialism’. (socialize the losses and privatize the gains)
Small businesses are not politically connected enough to benefit from such an economic system. They cannot afford the costs (high priced lawyers and lobbyists).
Go Galt!

Their goal is that we are all become equal—equally poor. Just what I was thinking. All men are created equal. If they can't make us all rich, they're damned and determined to make us all equally poor.

Worthy to be memorialized as a tagline.

Stupid is as the Obama Admin does!

How many people are employed by a small business? I would be interested to see what others think when they read the term “small business”. Is it 10, 20, 50, 200, 500? I will post the answer later today.

“They cannot afford the costs—lawyers and lobbyists.”

There are Wall Street firms, highly paid, and still highly bonused, that are classified as Small Businesses.
