Harry C Alford - National Black Chamber of Commerce

“When Obama became president, we were all happy about the symbolism–America’s first black president. We didn’t really care about his position or views on anything. We just wanted a black president no matter what. We should have been more careful, as his views on small business, especially black business, are counter to ours.

“His view of business is that it should be a few major corporations which are totally unionized and working with the government, which should also be massive and reaching every level of American Society. Thus, his first Executive Order was the reinstatement of Project Labor Agreements in government contracting.

No room for small business to grow on the Obama Plantation

…then why has the number of self-employed Americans fallen by more than 2 million?

It’s one thing to say you support small business, but Democrats attaching the word jobs, small-business, or main-street to every bill that comes out of congress doesn’t make it happen. But after 2008 every press release about every vote manged to shoe-horn in some BS about how that vote would help put Americans back to work. Really?

Obama – sure he’s all about small business

Carol…On Helping Small Business

Even as a child, Carol could not keep the train on the tracks

Carol’s good work keeps on rolling in like the smell of low tide on a salty breeze. Maybe you recall that five ream masterpiece of brevity appropriately mislabeled as health care reform? Well it came fully equipped with a manifold of other disasters buried inside, one of which was that anyone with business income will have to issue a 1099 for every entity with whom they spend $600.00 or more in goods and services in a calendar year. And you thought the Health care Castration Bill wasted paper?

This creates several problems for small business the biggest of which is the regulatory burden of having to deal with all that extra paperwork. It will take more time and cost more money just to comply with the rules ‘deemed’ by Section 9006 of Carol-Care. That amounts to millions more dollars in lost productivity on left wing busy work that Carol and her ilk have now released from America’s employment engine and diverted into the ice-rimmed, bottomless, suck-hole of the bureaucracy.

So how does that play against Carol’s rhetoric? Not well.
