To answer this question:
More businesses are closing than starting. Can Congress help turn that around?
Congress can do very little. So long as people are more afraid of what the government can do to them than they are in staying working for someone else, they will follow their fears and not open a new business.
Congress CAN attempt to write and pass some new feel-good legislation that may ease some potential entrepreneur’s fears, but it won’t matter so long as we have a runaway bureaucracy writing and enforcing their own set of rules.
Also, Congress doesn’t care, because a new small-business can’t donate as much to them as the multi-national that wants to keep sales and innovations to themselves.
And despite what the left might think, punishing the multi-national won’t do a damn thing to slow down the small-business suppression. The only way to slow them down is to take power away from the government. Which, without some serious elbow-grease, will not happen.
Oh, and for the first time since the 1970’s, more business are closing than opening.
This is my shocked face
