Should have been one of the first things they did. And, when they do it, from a political standpoint, they should do a major red carpet roll out and both visit some small businesses in key states and host a few actual small business people at the White House. Push it to every news outlet hard. Obama team may not realize that perceptual "ownership" of the economy is on them with a small but solid majority of the public.

Permanently cut taxes and decrease regulation.

That's already been tried, and all it got America was a Second Great Depression.

Since Small Business creates the most jobs, DO ITand put tax on companies that move jobs overseas. Every outsourced job is a job loss PLUS the taxes from that job. I work for a company that moves critical path jobs overseas (order processing is one example) and the loss of revenue from screwed up orders is staggering.

Don't say it, do it. I can't even explain what $50,000 would do for my startup, 100k would give me a heart attack.

We're aiming to be a manufacturing company based around our high-end, soft and hard goods for the cycling industry, and we want to diversify into other markets that have room for smaller manufacturers specializing in custom work. We do everything ourselves, in-house, and want to create a stable and sustainable business for ourselves and in the future our employees.

There's a million other small business's doing the right thing, i think that's just as important as the banks or the auto industry. It's obvious they need protection despite their actions, but there's countless small businesses that could make things happen with so much less.
