I'll try to listen to carly... No promises though... lol

 

You can find stuff on youtube or from a simple google search usually.  A lot of what I've watched actually comes from CSPAN.

 

I've watched a few speeches and interviews given by Bernie Sanders, and I don't recall him ever addressing small business.  Most of what he talks about as it relates to economics is "taxing the rich and corporations" as well as "giving away more free stuff".  More specifically, both him and Hillary talk more about "raising revenue" (more taxes on the rich and corporations).  I don't recall either one of them addressing the real creators of jobs in this country, those being small businesses and entrepreneurs.

 

Consider this.  Raising taxes for someone that earns say $250,000.00 per year on paper (tax return).  That $250,000.00 might be what was brought in by a small business owner that uses a portion of that income to reinvest or expand their business.  The business owner reports the income on their personal tax form, and would be penalized under a Clinton or Sanders plan.

 

I'm not saying that all small business owners do their taxes this way, but there are some that do.  The current Clinton and/or Sanders vision for taxes would actually place a larger burden on the small business owner.
