(5,078 posts)Small businesses are being strangled by the banks and steamrollered by the likes of Amazon.
Nibbling around the edges with paperwork reduction is not going to help. The real problem is the 1% and their stranglehold on the money supply in this country. The real problem is that the Treasury lets the banks print money which the banks use to play currency arbitrage games with instead of investing. The real problem is that corporations use 50%+ of their profits in stock buybacks instead of investing. The ones that actually do invest, like Amazon, basically "Borg" any small business that is making money by making "offers they can't refuse".
You want the focus of this fight to be about some microscopic "she said this word" nonsense. The real fight is the 1% vs the 99%, and Hillary is still spouting the discredited, "big government is nothing but an impediment" party line. The same party line as the GOP.
In some sense we agree. This one sentence is meaningless. But the context you bring up puts Hillary's outdated message in the spotlight; and it doesn't look pretty.
