Basically you are agreeing with my point, if a small business can not add value, can not differentiate, can not compete on price, they fail. What is wrong with that? Why should they continue to be in the market? Who should subsidize their inadequacies in the market if consumers don't want their goods or services? Why?

In the last two years I have not made made any profits in my business (I do pay myself a salary), so a tax cut will not help me. I need increased sales and access to credit to fund the increase in activity when and if it comes. He did say he would use TARP money to give to small banks so they can loan to small business. If that happens it will be good, however if it is off-set by a reduction in lending by big banks, what was the point?
