With a looming tax increase in the coming year, the President
urged Congress to pass a bill that only affects those earning over $250,000. The President indicated that the return on the investment to the Big Business or Job creators, did not provide much of a return.
The current strategy is to encourage growth
from the middle. Hopefully it will spark growth both down and up.
The Small Business person is left feeling under appreciated many
times, as direct attention to the small business needs, are not realized at a
community level. The need for more grant and loan programs are needed to
energize some free enterprise zones in our communities, it would generate more
community based commerce. There are plenty of young entrepreneurs waiting for
the right incentives to encourage them to be more creative and to market the
products and ideas that Big business is waiting for.
Real growth
will come from the bottom up and then we will be getting at the root of the
problems. Sadly, the debate is always cast as Rich vs. Poor; the real issues
and choices we are making with these investments are rarely discussed. There
are so few community based, small business successes that they are often lost
in the debate. The time to invest and support small business is now. Support
our small web-based business people, small retail owners and struggling entrepreneurs.
Your direct support often makes a difference. The choices are clear we need the
support of All to assure the success we need in our communities.
