But where are the workers? The short answer is that the Biden administration is more interested in handouts that pay more, or just as much, to stay home than going back to work. Since taking office, President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats have prioritized big government over earned pay stubs. 

The Democratic tax-and-spend plan won’t solve this problem. The proposal would eliminate the child tax credit as we know it, replacing it with welfare without any work requirement. Republicans believe the family is the foundation of a strong society, which is why we have supported expanding the child tax credit in the past. But we also know work establishes purpose, and there is no government substitute for a job and an earned income.

By removing a work requirement, the government is putting itself in competition with small businesses. And as the last year has proved, small businesses operating on tight margins are no match for the government printing press or mandate machine. 

Another damaging effect of $4.3 trillion of government spending is continued inflation. It’s good for Americans to have more money in their pockets, but that is best achieved through lower taxes, not ill-conceived labor policies and subsidies that render the dollar worthless.

After already passing nearly $2 trillion in spending this year, our economy is running at the highest rate of inflation in 13 years . That means higher prices for everyday goods for families and businesses. This isn’t just an indicator reserved for economists: “Sysco, one of the nation’s biggest food distributors, showed food inflation of 10.2 percent on its most recent quarterly report, increases that are passed along to restaurants and to the restaurants’ customers in turn,” The Washington Post reported.  

Moreover, even wage gains for lower-wage workers are negated by these higher consumer costs. A Democratic agenda that artificially boosts demand through government stimulus while curtailing supply through a self-inflicted labor crisis and higher energy costs will only make this situation worse.

Finally, the Democrats are planning the largest tax increase in history . The headliner is the increased corporate tax rate, which will affect all businesses and ultimately their employees. In 2017, Republicans in Congress and then-President Donald Trump slashed the corporate rate to 21 percent, from 35 percent, resulting in the greatest economy we’ve seen in a generation. Jobs and wages increased at historic levels for Americans across the socio-economic spectrum.

Biden and the Democrats’ plan raises the corporate tax rate to 26.5 percent, even further away from a proposed “global minimum tax” of 19 percent that will drive more businesses overseas, further discouraging production and innovation in America.

The Democrats argue that big business can afford to pay more. But aside from their hypocrisy that creates new carve-outs for rich university endowments like Harvard, their plan hurts the little guy. By removing deductions and increasing taxes by nearly 4 percent for business owners that operate as “pass throughs,” the plan puts at risk small businesses that have been struggling since March 2020 — and the new ones created since the pandemic under assumed tax burdens.  

As a former small-business owner, I know these conditions aren’t sustainable. Americans don’t deserve to bear the brunt of policies pushed by people in Washington who will never feel the effects of them, and who will receive a healthy paycheck each month no matter what.

??? I thought we were in a war against the unamerican thumper dominionists. are there 2 wars now?

Don't forget about the Republicans' War on the Truth, one of America's forever wars.

It is the Biden regime that wages non stop all out war on the truth, but that is the topic of my other seed.  This one is about Biden’s war on small business and the middle and working classes.  

Your personal war issues are of no concern here.  Biden’s war on employees and employers is the topic here.

Democrats Sneak Provision into $3.5T “Infrastructure Bill” That Would Fine Companies Out of Business

by Collin Rugg about 5 hours ago

House Democrats reportedly tried sneaking a provision into their $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” bill that would fine businesses between $70,000 – $700,000 for those who violate Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.

“Buried on page 168 of the House Democrats’ 2,465-page mega bill is a tenfold increase in fines for employers that ‘willfully,’ ‘repeatedly,’ or even seriously violate a section of labor law that deals with hazards, death, or serious physical harm to their employees,” Forbes reported Tuesday .

“The increased fines on employers could run as high as $70,000 for serious infractions, and $700,000 for willful or repeated violations—almost three-quarters of a million dollars for each fine,” Forbes noted, adding that if the provision is “enacted into law, vax enforcement could bankrupt non-compliant companies even more quickly than the $14,000 OSHA fine anticipated under Biden’s announced mandate.”

The Biden administration allegedly began pushing for this change over the summer when OSHA “published an emergency Covid-19 rule in the Federal Register taking jurisdiction over and providing justification for Covid-19 being a workplace hazard for healthcare employment.”

Forbes continues:

Early in September, Biden announced his 100-or-more employee Covid-19 vaccine mandate and tasked OSHA with drafting an enforcement rule to exert emergency vaccine compliance authority over companies with 100 or more employees.

The legislative provision that passed the Budget Committee raises the OSHA fines for non-compliance 10 times higher – and up to $700,000 for each “willful” or “repeated” violation. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not announced when the House will vote on the reconciliation bill that includes the new OSHA fines.

If the legislation is enacted, OSHA could levy draconian fines to enforce Biden’s vaccine mandate, a move that could rapidly bankrupt non-compliant companies. The Biden mandate affects employers collectively employing an estimated 80 million workers .

Comment 1.2.2 is an example of Republicans' War on the Truth. 

Ultimately, the truth will prevail and the Republicans will lose their War on the Truth.  As we know, good generally prevails over evil, and that is what will happen here.  It won't be easy, but Republican lies are so transparently false that no matter how much they scream, and that is, of course, exactly what they do, their lies are obvious to the overwhelming majority of the American people, who reject and repudiate them.

... and the war on xmas starts in a month.

Have you noticed that the War on Christmas starts earlier and earlier every year?  They don't even wait for the War on Thanksgiving or the War on Halloween anymore.

We Republicans are the truth.  We are also the good that will prevail over the evil regime and it’s even more vile supporters. The democrats have so overplayed their hand and bluffed so poorly that they are going to lose completely.  

Merry Christmas!  Thank God for our abundant possessions, family, exceptional nation.  Jesus is the reason for the season.  

A vile helloween is a month away.  

We Republicans are the truth.

Not in a million years.  The Republican Party is the party of lies and fraud.  What a hateful, disgusting organization.  

The "vile supporters" are, of course, those who supported the evil un-American/anti-American Trump regime.  Trumpist-Fascists are among the greatest evil ever to disgrace our country.  We real Americans will prevail over that filth.

When was the last time Kevin McCarthy told the unbiased truth?

Never mind,  it's a tricky rhetorical question.

Everyone of the articles he’s written is the truth.  The truth has a conservative bias.  

Kevin McCarthy is a serial liar.  Everyone knows it.

The truth has a conservative bias.

To put it correctly, many so-called conservatives are riddled with toxic and unreasonable prejudice and bias.

It’s Pelosi who is the serial liar we all know so well.  
it’s the secular progressive left that are mentally challenged by their hate and bias and intolerance beyond all logic or reason.  

 mentally challenged

That exactly describes the feeble-minded, deranged Trumpist-Fascists.  Perfectly.

No.  You are wrong.  It is the Biden regime and it’s supporters/voters who perfectly fit and are what you described.  We are not that at all. 

Lies have a liberal bias.  The truth is a conservative virtue.  

We can see why they wage war on business.  

Red states leading US economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic

10 states with the lowest unemployment rates are all led by GOP governors

FOX Business' Lydia Hu breaks down economic recovery data for September and highlights one surprising trend.

States with Republican governors are leading the U.S. economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, while those run by Democrats – which tended to impose lengthier and stricter lockdowns on businesses – are faced with significantly higher unemployment rates. 

Labor Department data published last week shows the 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates are all led by GOP governors – while the 10 states with the highest percentage of out-of-work Americans are run by Democratic governors. 

Blue states including Nevada (7.7%), New York (7.6%), New Mexico (7.6%), California (7.6%) and New Jersey (7.3%) had substantially higher unemployment rates than the national average of 5.4% in July, the data shows. By comparison, red states – such as Nebraska (2.3%), Utah (2.6%), New Hampshire (2.9%), South Dakota (2.9%) and Idaho (3%) – were well below the national average.

Nothing new.  

This is just an extension of Obama era rules that hurt small business.   He more or less regulated a lot of them right out of business.

Biden will do the same thing and liberals continue to fiddle .....

They/He  like Nero started the economic fire first before their music began playing.  

The democrat war on small business and family farms is one on the backbone of the American economy.
