If he follows through on his plan to tax companies out of competition a lot will weigh on him. I'm hoping it was more of his campaign lies and he gives these companies room to breathe.

I know a guy who runs a tire shop, he said if Obama's tax proposal goes through as originally proposed he'll likely let go two part timers that work for him and go back to doing more of the work himself. I imagine you could multiply this times all the tens of thousands of other small business, and see what a ripple effect this will have.
