Small Business Owners on Reviving the Economy

Just an important reminder that entrepreneurs generally know what’s best when it comes to economic policy.

Consider the following from a March 6 eWeek.com story:

A survey conducted this month by SurePayroll, the online payroll service found most small business owners feel the government should be taking a different approach to boost the economy to deal with the economic crisis.

According to the results, nearly three out of four small business owners disagree with the way the U.S. government has allocated funds in its Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), and believe tax cuts would be the ideal solution.

The survey found that nearly half of the respondents feel the government should focus on tax cuts to boost small and medium-size business (SMBs).
