The government is still the people and will end up being an additional tax to all of us including small businesses. The government seems to love playing Santa Claus without recognizing that we are being burdened with more and more taxes while decreasing the value we get for it. Adding more and more entitlements is just going to end up making it near impossible for the private sector, especially small businesses to operate, such that we turn into a country whose primary industry is government.
What happens when the government is so big that it cannot feed itself? I think we might be there already.
