SBA survey says Bush more supportive of Small Business then Kerry, Michagan Technology News 7/9/04 http://www.mitechnews.com/technews/bydate.htm?id=10893456000003
Interesting article showing that the suburban small business-owner and the entreprenuer vote overwhelmingly Republican or Independent. Of course, the myth of our duopoly is that the Democrats represent the 'working class' while the Republicans represent the middle class and the small businessman.
Of course this is all a charade...both parties represent Wall Street and multi-national corporate economy. The Democrats lean toward the so-called information industries---Hollywood and media, internet, the huge education cartel, insurance and finance, advertising, Silicon Valley. On the other hand, the Republicans lean toward pushing the interests of more traditional mining, manufacturing and agribusiness.
What many don't understand is that the purpose of this charade is to divide people who ought to be united against Wall Street and Big Business.
When the Democrats talk about the "'working class", what they mean are government workers, single women and gays, and blacks plus assorted disadvantaged urban ethnic minorities under the umbrella of the "People of Color". The Democrats secure their electoral majority with convulted system of patronage disquised as 'diversity' and 'affirmative action" and other high-sounding rhetoric. Which really boils down to special consideration in subsidized housing, welfare entitlements, educational opportunities and jobs to the improvished urban masses that the corporate economy cannot employ.
Republican play their part in this charade by stroking the resentments of the assimilated suburbanites and and small towns with appeals to traditional working class values of self-reliance, family, religion, community and patriotism.
Greens, overcome by a coup orchestrated by David Cobb and his allies in the Democrat Party are now as irrelevant as Howard Dean and Dennis Kuchinch. Only the Nader campaign understands that both parties really report to Wall Street and the multi-national corporations. Which of course, is why it's vitally important to support the independent candidacy of like Nader whose refusal to buy into this charade has made him the subject of death threats as well as unprecedented communications and public relations assualt by the Democrat Party.
| LANSING - More than half of Michigan small business owners (54 percent) believe President Bush is the presidential candidate who would be more supportive of policies that help small business, says the latest Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) Small Business Barometer quarterly survey.
Nineteen percent say they believe John Kerry would be more supportive of small business. Twenty-five percent are undecided, didn’t know or refused to answer. One percent say Ralph Nader and one percent say “other,” in a survey conducted among SBAM members in May and June. The survey did not specifically ask which presidential candidate small business owners will vote for in November. However, the Barometer did ask small business owners their general voting patterns. Fifty-two percent say they primarily vote Republican, 14 percent say they primarily vote Democrat, and 13 percent say they primarily vote independent. Posted by David Havelka |
