…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?
There’s plenty more where that comes from, right? (H/T: Powerline)
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.
