Obama Doesn't Get It

From Hot Air:

A survey of small businesses by the US Chamber of Commerce shows that Obama’s own economic policies haven’t exactly contributed to their success:

Only one in five small businesses (20%) expect to add employees in 2013, according to the poll of 1,225 small business owners, conducted by Harris Interactive. The majority of small businesses say they are likely to keep the same number of employees over the next year – meaning there is likely to be little change in overall unemployment figures.

Following the Supreme Court’s decision on the President’s health care law, only 3% of small business owners report that the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the law will make them more likely to hire new employees. Seventy-two percent said the health care law will make it harder for them to hire. When asked about the impact, several respondents said they will scale back their workforce to avoid triggering the employer mandate. …

Some additional findings from the survey:

•78% want government to get out of the way.

•90% are concerned about the impending fiscal cliff and are worried that Congress will fail to take action to prevent it.

•Nearly 60% say that expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax rates and other business provisions, coupled with sequestration, will directly impact their business’ growth.

Obama is the enemy of small business owners.

Obama is the enemy of all Americans interested in economic prosperity.
