Its as if they believe that small business owners will just sit idly by while increased costs, especially to employ people, are imposed upon them. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact – and I’ve spent most of my professional life dealing with small business owners – they are among the first to react. Put in that new warehouse? Invest to introduce the new product line? Hire that new salesman for the Northeast territory we’ve never penetrated? Not a chance in an environment openly hostile to business and profit. Not when every new employee or expansion project has to be financed out of diminished after tax income.

The Left think they can help people by “hurting” the rich through their schemes. But they forget one thing. Most of those small businessmen will just hunker down. And they will still be “rich.” They may not have as much fun. They may not grow the business the way they want, but they’ll still be financially well off.

Who will actually be hurt? The warehouse foreman trying to make $45K a year……but isn’t hired because the warehouse isn’t built. The $80K per year salesman who isn’t hired, because the NE territory goes unserved. The people trying to climb the ladder and get ahead. That’s who.

The Left think they are doing good financed on the backs of the rich. Instead they are creating unemployment. That’s just cruel.

Congratulations, Lefties. What did Obama say? 8% unemployment. Tops?!
