Jim, I think you might want to delete your last post before Amy sees it. I suspect you will emerge from the exchange pulverized, if you let it stand. Just a word of friendly advice. Scumbria

Jim, Ain't that the way it is. The federal government will help a "deserving" hard working citizen trying to start a business. Defining the term "deserving" somehow ends up being attached to certain blocks of voters instead of all hard working citizens of this great country. steve

RE: "Amy, RE:"Democrats are very pro-startups. Current Republican Party did not demonstrate this, which surprised me because I had thought Republicans were for businesses, but maybe only F500. Maybe the Republican Party favors the F500 large corporations, while the Democratic Party favors Startups. There are more CEOs of small businesses than there are of F500s. " In general when you consider all the rules, regulations, forms, fees, taxes and hoops you have to jump through so the government can get in line to take a piece of your action, I don't know how you can come up with a statement like "Democrats are more for startups". Democrats are for bigger government, more rules, forms, taxes, regulations...ad infiniteum. Jim -------------------------------------- Jim, Payroll is the largest bill for most startups. So, what is the third largest bill of a startup's Payroll? Hint: It's not Social Security Tax It's not Medicare Tax It's not DBL It's not State Tax It's not 401k It's... Regards, Amy J

RE: "I don't know how you can come up with a statement like "Democrats are more for startups". Hi Jim, Here's one out of five examples: "She said her plan would yield 200,000 New York jobs over six years. It included specific tax credits to encourage business investment, especially in the high-tech sector" Sounds a tad Republican, doesn't it? cnn.com Btw, Hillary Clinton met with quite a few people in the entrepreneur community, and if I remember correctly, her mission was to gain insight as to how to build high-tech startups (probably for New York). Would you like to hear about the other legislation she supported for startups? Regards, Amy J
