I learned early on that business and politics don't mix. Successful businesses don't do "red-state" or "blue-state", they do "green-state" (as in the color of money AND of course sustainability). So with this in mind, I'm going to post an excerpt from the State of the Union speech last night - completely a-political, strictly business:
"So tonight, I'm proposing that we take $30 billion of the money Wall Street banks have repaid and use it to help community banks give small businesses the credit they need to stay afloat.
I'm also proposing a new small business tax credit -– one that will go to over one million small businesses who hire new workers or raise wages. (Applause.) While we're at it, let's also eliminate all capital gains taxes on small business investment, and provide a tax incentive for all large businesses and all small businesses to invest in new plants and equipment."
The only thing I have to say is: HURRY UP!
