  1. Here’s a summary I’ve shortened the policy section down to mostly bullet points for easy reading. More details are available in the article:

    While former President [Donald Trump](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/donald-trump) continues to tout his business acumen to make the case that he would oversee a new era of American prosperity, the reality is that Vice President [Kamala Harris](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/kamala-harris) is far more likely to be better for America’s economy, [a sentiment that voters are increasingly warming up to](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/08/trump-harris-economy-voters-perception/). This is particularly true when it comes to examining which candidate would be better for small businesses in America.

    [Harris’ plan for small business](https://www.forbes.com/sites/rhettbuttle/2024/09/06/kamala-harris-focus-on-small-business-her-job-creation-plan/) demonstrates a nuanced understanding of the challenges America’s entrepreneurs face in today’s economic landscape. Her proposals are not just empty promises or concepts of a plan, they’re specific and actionable policies designed to foster entrepreneurship, drive innovation, and ensure that small businesses across the nation can compete against big business.

    * expand the tax deduction for new small businesses tenfold, from $5,000 to $50,000.
    * launch a small business expansion fund
    * shaping regulations to exempt small businesses from needing to comply with them.
    * simplify the tax filing process for small businesses by allowing them to take a simple standard deduction
    * immigration reform to ensure that small businesses have access to the talent they need to grow and thrive

    Lastly, in what is perhaps one of the most under appreciated aspects of Harris’ appeal to the business community, is her predictability. In contrast to Trump’s often erratic and impulsive decision-making, Harris offers the stability and consistency that businesses crave. This predictability allows for long-term planning and investment, essential components of sustainable business growth.

    Kamala Harris offers a vision that not only supports small businesses in the short-term but also lays the groundwork for long-term success and innovation. Her comprehensive, forward-thinking approach to small business policy makes her the superior candidate to foster an environment where entrepreneurship can thrive. Harris is, in short, the better candidate for small business.

  2. Yet Kamala has done nothing for small businesses over the last 3.5 years.

    No proof that she’ll be able to do anything.

  3. Both parties are the puppets of megacorps and their lobbying efforts of regulatory capture to deter and quash small business and other competition.

  4. She’s a shell of a human. Definitely not the better candidate, even if she was running against a potato.

    Here come the sissy boys to whine…

  5. Is that why billionaires are funding her campaign? Money should not be allowed into the elections for either candidate..

  6. She’s the better candidate for essentially everything but hey, a good chunk of the US population are morons so…..

  7. None of these totalitarians are “good” for small businesses. Just the sheer amount of regulations they employ through unelected bureaucrats chokes all businesses.
    Add federal requirements, and unless you’re a protected minority the cost of entry is too high.

  8. If you think either candidate will impact your life in a positive way you’re an absolute fool who most likely gets taken advantage of in other aspects of your life already.
