Obama doesn't care about small businesses, which employ over 60% of the work force. Instead he would rather tax the rich to pay subsidies to the people his policies have crippled (middle class - SB owners). And that makes us dependent on the government for assistance. My taxes have risen over 18% and my profits have dropped over 35% since Obama has been in office. I only have 8 employees, but I'm feeling the crunch and since I had to cut back, they're feeling it as well. Do the math and tell me how much longer I can stay in business? I'm PAYING to stay in business and keeping people employed. How fucked up is that?!?!
