I want to know who is helping small business? You know the ones that employ most of the people in this country. Big business employs foreigners & has all the politicians in their pocket. Small business does not benefit from tax cuts for the rich. It does not benefit from unemployment that keeps the low wage workers wages high & does not help the business when it is loosing money in tough economic times. Small business needs subsidized workers, lower employment taxes like SS, Medicare, Unemployment, FICA, Healthcare, etc.
The weaker dollar is helping big business rake in windfall profits from foreigners. They need no help from government. 1099 workers, contractors & small business owners don't get unemployment or tax cuts because they are not turning enough profit to live on let alone pay taxes. This describes most of the housing industry. It was made up of mostly small contractors, mom & pop Realtors, insurance agents, appraisers, mortgage brokers, title companies, plumbers, electricians, inspectors, roofers, HVAC, surveyors, painters, landscapers, etc. These people were the hardest workers in the USA 5 years ago but were completely devastated by the housing collapse. They got zero unemployment benefits or tax breaks. They have been and are continuing to suffer the most.
