There isn't enough incentive for people to start their own businesses anymore, because there is so much red tape you have to step through, not to mention all the costs in order to set up the documents in the first place. If the government really wants to encourage more jobs, it needs to let small business (i.e. the middle class) expand.
But that is exactly what corporate America wants. The last business I started cost me a grand just to get all of the paperwork in order.
this is corporate americas way of ensuring no n00bs will come in and give them competition.
Once you are up in the ability to give 1,000,000 to EACH party, then you have control. Because regardless of which party wins, that corporation has control of the controlling party. Your vote no longer counts.
Make all donations to political parties illegal NOW!
