I just strongly believe that the road to reducing poverty goes through those who are creating it, not by over taxing those who are fighting to stay out of it.
And I can appreciate that. But what myself and many other posters have been saying is that the current government's stance that "nothing bad will happen" is false and that this isn't the way to help these people.

This policy will do far more harm than good not only to small businesses but also to the people we're all trying to help.
