Small Business Tax Bill Has Little For Micros
Apr 5th, 2010 | By Dawn Rivers | Category: PodcastsSo, greetings to all of you fellow stupid, uncreative, uninspired, spineless small business owners! How’s your Monday treating you so far?
If you’re wondering if I may have filled the bong a little too early this morning, that greeting will make sense to you after you hear this week’s Policy Matters column.
As for the news, it’s always interesting to me when Congress slaps a “small business” label on some piece of legislation that is useless for nine out of ten small businesses in the country. When giant agri-business corporations do that, they get in trouble with people yelling things like “truth in labeling!”
There is no truth in labeling in either politics or public policy. It’s very sad.
We have a summary of economic data, with the promise of an update in the near future. And Microloan Intermediaries and Women’s Business Centers are having a tough time with funding but, fortunately for them, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) has donned her red cape and S tee shirt, and leaps to the rescue.
That’s quite an image, actually, but of course that’s all metaphorically speaking.
