Exemptions are one thing, but most local governments have policies where a corporation will receive big tax breaks (like Walmart) for constructing a store in their area, but smaller businesses in the same area and industry will not receive equivalent breaks. With the advantages that corporations already have over small businesses, huge tax breaks should not be necessary to attract corporations, and even when they do, the death of smaller businesses that often result from it outweigh the benefits of having the corporation there in the first place in most cases.GorillaKing798 wrote:
Some social programs are needed, however the sheer number of ways you can get money from the government is pure ludicrous, If I'm obese , I can claim disability so that i don't have to work and may continue to fund my mission to boost the stock of KFC. Funding an exemptions apply to big business as well as small business, give these small businesses an easier way of getting these tax breaks and ending up employing more workers and keeping kids off the street will work wonders in crime rates, and boost small business as well.
Essentially, much of America is living under the delusion that becoming economically dependent on large corporations is a good thing for jobs. This is clearly not the case as businesses downsize both their number of employees and their benefits plans.
The prevalence of small businesses are much healthier for long term growth, consumer rights, and the overall quality of life.
