In reply to the discussion: I'm a small business owner and I make less than $60,000 a year. [View all]Cleita
(75,480 posts)72. Republicans only talk about being friendly to small business.
They don't give a shit about you anymore than they do the homeless guy living on the street. It's only your vote they want because they know the global mega-corporations that they are really serving don't have enough votes to put them in office. They won't do anything for you once in office except solicit you for more campaign funds and votes the next time they are up for election. I watch this going on at a local level all the time. Some of these Republican politicians almost sound downright liberal when they are campaigning, yet when you look at their records they have done nothing for you, the small business and professional person.
