This show is dedicated to the small business owners who are what make this great nation of ours the greatest country on earth. Despite what many politicians would have us believe, local and federal governments have often become a hindrance. When we have come out of previous recessions, it has been the small businesses that have created jobs. This time around, we aren’t seeing this. Many left leaning politicians claim what we need is more regulation or more “stimulus” (government borrowing and spending) The government does not create jobs. The majority of jobs are created by small business owners.
Many in the federal government now claim that small business owners aren’t paying their fair share. Wait you say, they are talking about those “rich” people, not me! The facts are that the majority of small business owners fall into the “top wage earner” category. Read the IRS stats below and decide for yourself.
