Again, my argument is comparing which party is better for Small Business. Your argument is trying to find fault with Republican policy with small businesses vs. Democrats whose policies are outright punitive or negligent.Modern corporatism did not happen over the past 40 years because Democrats made it that way.
Corporatism happened because ALL of Washington and ALL of local governments made it that way. Republicans are absolutely no less at fault for making this massive change in our economy than Democrats.
Sad - but true.
An example. Our business was significantly hurt because the local/state government gave tax SUPER sweet deals for a corporation to build a facility in our city/state. 10 year tax abatements, grants and basically free land.
They came in and about half the printing companies in this are went out of business in 5 years.
Take this example. And multiply it by millions. This happens/happened all across the country regardless how liberal/conservative the governments were/are.
