Small businesses need Joe Walsh
Who are your small businessmen? Your butcher, baker, dry cleaner, dentist, auto repairman, sandwich maker, pizza maker, ice cream shop owner, hair dresser, cell phone dealer, hardware store owner, chiropractor, hamburger maker, coffee shop owner, etc.
What would happen if you woke up one morning and the doors to these businesses were closed? You might think this would never happen. If Congress and U.S. Rep. Melissa Bean keep up their big government spending and tax hikes, this scenario could actually occur.
Small businesses now are fearful of more government regulations and higher taxes when Obama's health care mandates and his cap and trade energy regulations take effect beginning in 2011.
Melissa Bean is against keeping the Bush tax cuts permanent that will expire at the end of 2010. The taxes of small business owners will rise to 39.6 percent, thus making these owners very cautious about hiring and creating new jobs.
When you have a headache, you take an aspirin. People in the 8th Congressional District have a huge headache - namely Melissa Bean. But don's worry. There is a solution - Joe Walsh! Electing him on Nov. 2 is the best remedy for helping small businesses and getting our economy on the road to recovery.
Joe Walsh wants to repeal the Obama health care mandates and keep the Bush tax cuts permanent. He is totally against all of these big government bailouts that hurt small businessmen and prevent job growth.
Let's keep these small business doors open! Next time you bite into that juicy hamburger, sip your cafe latte or text your friends on your cell phone, remember how these small business owners are suffering during this recession. Remember there is a remedy for this Obama/Bean headache - Joe Walsh.
