I'm not PRO hurting our large businesses, but I think it would be helpful if we created new opportunities, helped the smaller ones get stronger.

I totally agree, and that's why I don't want the government to pick winners and losers. Once they start doing that, it invariably corrupts the system and politicians will always side with the ones who can afford the best lobbyists and toss them the most money: big business. The best way that the government can help small businesses is to take the boot of excessive regulation (written with the help of big business lobbyists) off of their necks and forswear the "too big to fail" mentality forever.


Or at the least you could argue for "Progressive Reuglations" that ramp up the bigger you get.

Then again... it's not like the regulations made to fix stuff even tend to adress it.

Like Dodd Frank... which... the GFC would of happened with Dodd Frank anyway.

 

Same with those banks... "Living Wills".

They're written as what would happen if one bank fails that is too big to fail... rather then what would happen during a GFC.
