Stimulate Yourself
Now that the world’s governments are spending trillions stimulating themselves and their friends, it’s very apparent that they forgot about the only ones capable of getting us out of this mess – small business.
Although it’s common knowledge that the majority of jobs are provided by small business, governments have chosen to give the money to companies that most likely won’t be here in a year.
GM is dead. American banking giants are dead. Paving companies will boom.Government hiring has just begun.
The only possible reason for not helping small business are that they don’t form a political voting block… governments can’t be that stupid to overlook them for any other reason.
The best part is that small businesses don’t rely on government for anything – in fact, the less involvement the better.
It doesn’t take money to stimulate small business.
A stimulus for small business only takes:
Easy incorporation – why do we have to get a lawyer to incorporate? Set up a system online. See Florida for an example. Incorporate in a day should be the goal.
No taxes – small business spends money on employees and the owner’s salary. You get the taxes through personal taxes, which are huge anyway. This effectively does away with year-end paperwork.
Easy enough?
As they say, no use wasting a crisis. With 1,000′s being unemployed each day, drop all the barriers for entrepreneurial growth and we’ll see results quickly.
Or we can keep paving roads and renovating government buildings… and retrain people to install drywall.
