Does Cicilline Agree with Obama that Government is Responsible for the Success of Your Small Business?
Obama Awards His Overreaching Government Priorities for Small Business Success WASHINGTON — During a recent campaign speech, President Obama claimed that small business owners are not responsible for their success but that government is – does David Cicilline agree? At a time when Democrats brought Rhode Island small businesses a $831 billion failed stimulus and $675 billion in massive tax hikes through ObamaCare, the success of their businesses is the last thing that job creators will concede to the irresponsible priorities of Cicilline’s party. “If a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth, then this comment by President Obama is a brutally honest attack on the small business owners he and David Cicilline have been punishing during their time in office,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “Anyone who believes American small business couldn’t exist without the help of government clearly doesn’t understand how America’s economy works. And if Obama and Cicilline can’t understand that, then they are incapable of getting America out of the economic rut we’re in today.” President Obama gave credit to his overbearing big-government agenda for the successes of small businesses: “‘If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,’ [said Obama].” (Kerry Picket, “Picket: (Video) Obama: ‘If You’ve Got a Business—You Didn’t Build That. Somebody Else Made That Happen,” The Washington Times, 7/15/2012) In reality, Democrat policies have done nothing but keep the unemployment rate over 8.0 percent for a consecutive 41 months. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Accessed 7/16/2012) The size of the ObamaCare tax hikes are already projected to be an astounding $675 billion on small businesses and taxpayers . (Thomas A. Barthold, “Revenue Estimates,” Joint Committee on Taxation, 6/15/2012) ###
