President Obama is asking Republicans to move Small Business Bill to a vote in the Senate which provides benefits to Small Businesses. The President is pushing blame to Republican representatives, who he says is blocking the bill’s ability to move forward to a vote in the Senate.
This is the type of political games any American should be tired of! We all know it goes on everyday and has for several decades, which is why Americans should demand Government officials to quit playing political games, no matter what political party they support. At the end of the day, if you live in America, you are an American, not a Republican or a Democrat.
In my last entry on August 25th, I indicated a need for responsible policy come from the administration to move our economy forward, and the Small Business Bill for small businesses may be a step in the right direction, and yet political games keep it from moving forward. Not much the Government can do for our economy, if both Republican and Democratic politicians don’t do what is best for their representatives, who are Americans, and only worry about their party.
President Obama has indicated he does support to extend “most” of the Bush Tax cuts! Stay tuned to find out which cuts he does not want to extend. My guess, he will not support the special dividend tax, which is currently 15%, and he will not support the lower capital gains tax, for people who make over $250,000 per year in income.
