I was wondering what everyone elses take on this important issue is? Who is most Small Buisiness Friendly, and who is the candidate of chice for us?

Yep this could get bad fast but what the heck! My business is run by 2 people...you can't get too much smaller than that. I don't think any of the candidates really care about a business our size. They will say they do because they want our votes but in reality...nope.

For me, there is no 'candidate of choice for us' as here on the board/forum. I am too cranky to vote the way others would tell me to vote and I understand that small business issues are not the only issues out there. I also understand that no candidate will see all of the issues as I see them.

Thats pretty much why this could get ugly...the candidate of choice for us thing.

The fact of the matter is, this election should be about issues other than Small Business.
This is why it can get ugly, the other issues will come up and people will argue.
Quick! Somebody lock this thread.

I am going to avoid politics by stating that:

The best presidential candidate is the one that chosses Web Design Services by iTS for there personal web design firm.

If it's business you are worried about I say we draft Larry Kudlow from CNBC and make him Cabinet Secretary for all things business friendly.

I believe that anyone who starts a business today is brave and adventuresome. If,after 5 to 10 years of balancing finances, employees, clients, vendors, insurance, and family he or she continues to be sane and honest, there are those of you within this community who qualify for the position! Think about it. . .

Perhaps the one that is the least "big corporation" friendliest?!? I wonder is this has anything to do with campaign coffers.
