Rubio & Small Business: PS - Koch Industries, KPMG, XE, etc. are SMALL BUSINESSES

.

When you hear small business, it's not the ACE Hardware or Pizza shop we think of.

A small business is less than 100 owners. They can make billions and still be a 'small business.'

=

The tax code favors the large small businesses, with rules that do not favor the local mom & pop shop.

Excellent point, BA. The tax code favor that hurts mom & pop shops is exactly the propaganda Mnemosyne Aug 2015 #2
A lot of partnerships cap their owning-partners at 95 or so, to maintain their SB status. TheBlackAdder Aug 2015 #3

that the asses use to persuade people that own those small shops to despise "big gov" and hate the poor. imo

I have no idea why, but I was under the impression that a small business was less than 1000 employees. Thanks for the most informative info, BlackAdder!

KPMG is in over a dozen countries and has around 12-15K employees.

That doesn't sound like a small business to me.

Everyone wants to help out small businesses, but most everyone thinks of a small company or business, not some multi-national conglomerate. That's how they get people to agree on giving the farm away to them, not realizing the laws passed only help these large corporations who have changed their charter.

appease the true benefactors of the eternal tax cuts.

Where I live they hate unions, any ethnicity other than theirs, anyone with an education above an Associate degree, the poor and women. I'm sure I've missed something. Oh yes, their guns and Freedumb.

Lately they have loved the 'rebel' flag, overtime pay, Trump and the Alaskan Grifter. And most of this hate comes from small business owners, factory workers, alcoholics and opiate/meth addicts. Of course the addicts I've known usually don't vote.

Wish I could move just one last time...

I forgot to include; the poor and middle class voting republican from the manipulation of the poor and middle class.

It is almost frightening and sickening, at times, to leave the house around here.
