2. kentuck, how much more bleeding do we need to do for "big bidness?"
Seems to me we've slit our wrists for it. Time to take care of the little guy. Perhaps if we don't help big bidness so much, it will have to actually decide what kind of role it wants in communities rather than assuming that we will all grovel to it.
5. Do you have any kind of link or reference for that?
I'm trying to get a loan for my small business just to keep going, and the only way to do that is to be able to show tax advantages to a private investor.
As described in the OP, this measure actively encourages people to sell their small business to a larger business by insuring that the seller pays no capital gains taxes on the sale.
This is not a good idea, and it is of little help to a small business owner (until that business is big enough and successful enough to be sold to a mega-corporation).
14. Wait, weren't you upset that we bailed out the credit industry?
I think I recall trying to convince you that without credit, small businesses would grind to a halt. Now you're claiming Obama should be doing more to get small businesses credit. Did I miss a come-to-Jesus moment in my absence?
