If politicians really wanted to help small business, they’d do the following:
- Stop making ‘small business’ meaningless.
- Punish large companies that defect elsewhere.
- Be honest about ‘free trade.’
- Create a progressive business tax.
- Make corporate campaign contributions public.
- Legalize (and tax) the drug trade.
- Implement size-neutral health insurance.
- Educate more engineers.
