Points 2, 4 and 5 are really good.

I’ll also add – When Obama *PROMISES* that cap&trade WILL **DOUBLE** electric rates what business owner in their sane mind would hire under such a threat?!

Make the Bush tax plan PERM!

No business (and few individuals) are willing to make long term plans when they know taxes are going up, or at the most don’t know what the tax rules will be just a year from now (muchless 5 years).

TML…when will YOU be running for prez? You have my vote! You’re someone who actually speaks ‘common sense’.

Note to dwhite-the democrats have been a majority for the past year and the last 2 years of the Bush admin. (that makes 3 years) There is no such party of ‘NO’. Dems could have gotten whatever they wanted passed. The conflict is not between the repubs and dems. It’s between the dems and the progressive (liberal left loon) dems.

As a small business owner, if the gov’t wants to enhance small business activity, they could focus on reducing the cost of hiring/retaining employees: worker’s comp, payroll taxes, insurance costs, cost of good background checks, HSA costs, tax record keeping, licensing, etc.
No small business owner I know of can take advantage of the cap gains tax.

Last time I checked, Dems still head a majority (albeit not a super-one)…want things to happen make it happen!

How about the party of “NO” make some laws that stimulate the economy. When has THAT happened recently?
