A lot of ink has been devoted to the government's 2008 "stimulus" payments to individuals. But not nearly so much as been writen about the specifics of the large write-off benefits in the same law given to small businesses investing this year in new equipment. Not to call it a bad thing, but we taxpayers may very well be "buying" some new jobs in the smallest companies via this year's tax breaks on the investments needed to create those jobs.
Matt Bandyk, a reporter for U.S. News, explores capitalism from where it all begins, with the entrepreneur, whose risk taking and experimentation provide the roots from which the rest of the economy grows. As much courage as it takes to create one's own business, even the entrepreneur needs some help, and this blog will look at news, trends, and practical advice for starting and running a small business.
