Exploding the Small Business Myth
"Up" with Chris Hayes is telling the truth about the "small business" meme and just how absurd it is.
Example: 3 of the small business owners who spoke at the Republican convention received loans from the Small Business Administration
Obama has increased the amount of individual loans from $2 million to $5 million and gets little credit for it.
Most small businesses need "capital" they are not as worried about taxes or regulation.
Romney, during the debate, referenced a survey done by the National Federation of Independent Businesses...This organization split off from the Chamber of Commerce because it considered the Chamber too soft...it is super right wing.
