THE CRISIS ON MAIN STREET: How Washington Continues to Ignore Small Businesses

[ChrisGHurn]

@VideoGameCoupons  Thanks for doing that. Sadly, this video is still relevant almost two years later.

[VideoGameCoupons]

Interesting post. I have made a twitter post about this. Others no doubt will like it like I did.

[churn123]

Thanks for all the great comments, folks. I hadn't checked these in a while, so I'm a little behind. My apologies. Anyway, take care and keep fighting (with me) for small businesses and entrepreneurs all over who'll become the Big Businesses of tomorrow!

[lomaboy01]

Chris, what type of editing software did you use to create this video. Looks great!

[akabillyba]

Outstanding video!

[GoldenRealtorsGR]

Excellent work and commentary. I am a real estate Broker in Greece and baced on this I would like to pose a question : are all governments in the world linked by the common denominator of stupidity?

[poormansprenup]

Interesting facts & excellent commentary.

While small business loans continue to be one of the best investments government has made over the years, with strong, measurable returns, there is much more that can be done at little cost.

Small business will receive the greatest benefits from modifications in regulations, taxes, streamlining interaction with the government, and supporting the rule of law. Over the last few decades, government has failed to recognize the true needs of small business. It's time to turn that around.

@HGSpaceTime Thanks for admitting that. That wasn't necessary, but it was appreciated.

President Obama is doing better than most at bringing this country out of the Bush/Cheney depression. He is to be applauded. Another republican would have only drug us deeper into the muck fueled by big corporate republican greed. .

I live in the UK, so I don't have too much say about ARRA but this is a great video and I enjoy watching it... Thanks!

As far I have researched, The Zeitgeist Movement is the only Group out there that has brought up some Real and Tangible Solutions to ACTUALLY SOLVE OUR ECONOMICAL, SOCIAL & ECOLOGICAL CRISIS - watch "Awakening 1/4" (short video) and "Zeitgeist Addendum" to know more about it. Both of them are on YouTube. The SOLUTIONS presented in both videos are already being applied and they have already been proved to work in the short and long run. It's about time to expand/spread it World Wide.

These so called small business owners are predominantly Republican. As a Republican these small business owners want less government. So why look for more government to give them a free ride. Work, Build Capital and Expand. Stop expecting the workers tax money to give you a free ride and run your own business or fail. That's Capitalism. And this is SPAM!!!

[HGSpaceTime]

Obama one of greatest men ever to walk face on of this planet, he's bringing corrupt sum-bitch-in USA system down to its knees, GAME OVER FOR USA, Obama a true saint in disguise thank you.

[churn123]

@HGSpaceTime I think you've lost your mind... actually, I'm quite sure of it. To claim Obama is on the same level as Mother Theresa and other Saints is utterly ridiculous!

[blex64]

@churn123

He didn't mention Mother Theresa, but nice try. Obama's accomplished a whole lot. Not as much as he'd like, but considering our political system and the amount of idiocy opposing him (here's look at you Beck) it's way more then I personally expected. Change doesn't occur overnight (or even in 2 years, to be honest).

Inb4 "WHEN DOES IT BECOME HIS PROBLEM?!"

[ekwilke]

@blex64 Beck presents many facts, figures, and quotes from those he opposes. Can you name 1 fact that Beck presented that is not accurate?

[blex64]

@ekwilke

Erm...everything? I'm appalled you think he speaks anything remotely truthful. He's ultrapartisan and spins absolutely everything his way, and doesn't report news in any sense of the word. His quotes are misrepresented or out of context, as are his figures and "facts" (like the death councils in Obamas health plan. In case you're retarded, they don't exist.)

[HGSpaceTime]

@churn123 Your right I went overboard on my sarcasm.

[eltiare]

Really what they should be doing is stop playing gods and simply allow people to transact business with little oversight. Governmental bureaucracy only allows bigger corporations (which as indicated in the video can afford to hire lobbyists and lawyers) to bend the systems to their wills. Instead, we must make corporate welfare like racism has become: an apprehensible idea despised by most. Small business will never thrive when government chooses the winners and losers.

Thanks for sharing!

[koopadek]

our economy is not coming back to be the same as the past 

[kalpretal]

nice pic of Obama... just make me want to laugh out

[najamrak]

I need a loan and I will speak to you guys soon

[caineyen123]

interesting video!! I am going to share this with the rest of people

[kagravert]

hope they will change their focus to help the small businesses

[raferty123]

the small business owners are the worst.. also squeeze in between the rich and poor

[churn123]

@raferty123  WHAT?!?

[neetrama]

politicians will never know how the people are suffering

[neerakdne]

just wish the economy will return strong!

[neeragrka]

Let us hope the voting next week will see a big change!

[kaede11223]

this is very detailed analysis... great work

[nadranfe]

I agree with you! We should vote the right candidate!

[quizerry]

A huge problem is the Obama administration does not have one business person in any position. They are absolutely clueless on how to run a business or how businesses create jobs.

[tejaspics]

waa waa waa...suck it up bitches!

[nadaneya]

there is no way we can change the situation :(

[macoman1234]

this is very true that small business owners are always being ignored.

[mabyenas]

thumb up!

[mab123444]

very informative video.. i learn a lot from here.

[naaara1234]

interesting video :)

[GreatSatan1]

This video features lending to small business as a focus. Not so sure that is the major problem facing small business. Who is going to to borrow to expand into a market that is so uncertain with regard to taxes and more taxes and then some more taxes. And unemployment means no money out there to pursue. Right now, the socialists have won, but they have won a losing game..

[Ratog4]

Yo yoYo!

[zawawi1980]

amazing overview
