The dangers of government intervention in the economy: the owner of a local copy shop tweeted:
Thinking of hiring another employee but should I wait until the government comes up with some tax incentive for small businesses? Not sure.
Talk of a bailout could be slowing the recovery... By the way, that copy shop is Santa Rosa Copy.

Although I can't remember the acronym, I remember a job subsidy program from the Carter years that was chockfull of crookedness. A friend of mine was a keyliner (a lost discipline) for a small graphics house. His boss fired the entire staff and rehired them a week later under the program. My friend ended up giving a depostion to the Justice Dept. over the case, although I don't know if the boss ever was convicted. And just wait for some guy to use incentive funds at $15 an hour to pay for illegals he's paying $6 an hour for. You read it here first.

This is another of the many reasons that I support the FairTax. Business and personal decisions should be made based on business and personal consequences, not tax consequences.
