Capitalism (Supply + Demand + Investment = Revenue)

--which has a website that says:

A size standard is usually stated in number of employees or average annual receipts and represents the largest size that a business (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) may be to remain classified as a small business for SBA and federal contracting programs.

Based on those criteria, the SBA has established the following standards for a small business:

* 500 employees for most manufacturing and mining industries, and
* $7 million in average annual receipts for most non-manufacturing industries.​

. . . And your point would be what?

possibly that the SBA's definition can be used in misleading ways

for instance, i understand that Goldman Sachs co were able to obtain an SBA handout , merely based on it's parameters

I would have to see some sort of reliable info on that before I could possibly comment.
 
You really should go back to school.

Interesting comment and telling, what school would that be? And what would we learn there? Or is this just another meaningless empty comeback devoid of reason and commonsense? And supporting evidence?

===================================

What is a small business? If you check these stats the issue is a great deal more complicated than the wingnuts assume.

Statistics about Small Business from the Census Bureau

Rdean specifically said that Republicans define small business as those making more than $500,000 a year. If you were not an arrogant asshole and a partisan hack you would call him on his misrepresentations instead of trying to make it look like I was commenting on what does, or does not, constitute a small business.

He is not the only one that needs to go back to school.
 
I'm watching Morning Joe and they throw out the statistic that 2/3rd of all jobs in the US are from "small business". It seems the Republican Leadership sees "small business" when a company makes 500 million to a billion dollars, but the truth is, those businesses aren't really "small".

One woman guest talked about how she has grown her company from 17 employees to 60. Now that is a "small business". She talked about how she had to learn about promoting a "demand" and creating a "supply" through "investment" for her to receive "revenue". And how that "revenue" need to be greater than her "investment".

Cutting has never created jobs. In fact, the very idea is to "reduce" the number of jobs.

I think if a Republican actually understood "capitalism" and was able to use the words, "Supply, demand, investment and revenue" effectively and presented meaningful plans that would actually create jobs, they would give Obama a run for his money.

Remember, Republicans ran on "Jobs, jobs, jobs" and once in office, turned that into "gay rights, abortion, end Medicare, give tax breaks to the uber wealthy and hate Obama". I suspect the public won't forget that anytime soon.

Has anyone heard a single Republican leader use the words, "Supply, demand, investment and revenue"?

Since when has government spending come to be considered an investment? If government were capable of getting a return on the money it spends it wouldn't need to collect taxes. Obama spent a trillion plus attempting to stimulate the economy and he may as well have recycled those dollars into toilet paper for all the good it did. An investment means a waiter risking his savings on the dream of starting a restaurant and making a fortune. Unlike some bureaucrat who squanders tax revenues like its monopoly money, the entrepreneur who risks his own wealth has a vital intererest in making things succeed. If you want to stimulate the economy stop discouraging people from investing by eliminating endless government red tape and burdensome taxes.
 
Even neo-socialists have to realize that the former community activist was in it way over his head. Quibbling about the size of a small business will get you nowhere lefties. The great "cash for clunkers" adventure was just a game to Barry Hussein but he got to play with real money. It was a disaster. How did the porkulous bill do? How far are Americans prepared to go to give the kid an education? The truth of the matter is if republicans hadn't won the November election this Country would have been headed for the 3rd world.
