Only one (the politician), has a page on, "Small business." We posted it before, we will post it again, and tell you why, we, Cheers POS, as a small business, do not support Hillary Clinton being best for us.
Here is the link: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/small-business/
We're looking at this through our business lens. Not small business, but business. Looking over this page (and we clicked open some of the links), we would not hire her. She does not say what she has done and she does not say how she will accomplish these vague banalities (some of the links says she will get money to back up her agenda, but...where is she going to get this money?).
If this were a resume, we would not hire her. She has been in the public spotlight and politics too long for a page to read like this. If she had been in a Fortune 500 company for the past 20 years and had on her resume, "Multitasking," but, has not said how she has done anything to grow the Fortune 500 company, any hiring manager would be wondering why hasn't she listed anything of accomplishment?
We could write, "because she has not accomplished anything," but, that would be the easy way out of this.
Even if the resume read, "Made calls every week to secure deals," we would not hire her, because it does not list her accomplishments, she is merely stating her job duties. We want to know what those deals were and how they were beneficial to the company.
This is why, even though on one of the links, her voting record is listed, it does not tell us anything. Okay, she voted one way, but, so what? Did this vote change anything?
Let us be honest: we do not hold politicians to the same standards as we hold businesses. From a business and political standpoint, let us assess these statements on her, "Small business," page.
"Unlocking access to capital. We need to give small businesses—including women- and minority-owned small businesses—access to the financing they need to build, grow, and hire. To do that, we should ease unnecessary regulatory burdens on community banks, boost funding for programs that support small business in underserved communities, and more. Read more here."
1. How?
2. Why?
How does she plan to ease unnecessary regulatory burdens on community banks (and we are going along with there ARE unnecessary regulatory burdens on community banks -- note how she does not list what these, "burdens," are, let alone how to ease them). Why, "ease," and not, "eliminate"? She has been a lawyer, she has been in the political scene since the 1970's. We can surmise she knows, legally, what needs to be done, and also, she knows the key players to make this happen. Yet, she does not say how she has helped small businesses in the past (NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS!! FORTY YEARS -- NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS LISTED!).
Also, "we should ease...," Not that we WILL, but, we should. Uh-huh. It's an empty promise AT BEST. But, it's not even that. It's merely wasted words. She isn't proposing anything, just what some things should be done. She's just saying what hypothetically, "should," happen.
And spouting, "We need to give small businesses...access to the financing they need to build, grow, and hire," again, doesn't say anything. Who is, "we?" How do, "we," plan on doing this? Why do, "we," need to do this; why is this needed? A business person (a sales person) needs to show that there is a problem before they themselves provide the solution. She has not adequately proven that there is a problem, she has merely made a statement, and not one she may even particularly back, but, it sounds good.
Second, "why"? Why, "including women - and minority-owned...,"? WHY is this specifically included? Aren't all small businesses equal (fair disclosure: Cheers POS is, "minority owned)? Why is she singling out some people over others? Why is she wasting words? This is about small businesses. OBVIOUSLY women and minority-owned SMALL BUSINESSES are going to be included in SMALL BUSINESSES!! We suppose this is all very obvious, unless you are Hillary Clinton.
Why shouldn't it take longer to start a small business here than anywhere else?
Does it really take longer to start a small business here or is she just using these words because they sound good?
If it does take longer, how much longer does it take?
WHY does it take longer (that is, is it because of Democrats, Republican, or bi-partisan effort)? We would think that if it was in Hillary's best interest to point out (if it is true that it takes longer), why it takes longer, who put that red-tape up in the first place, she would have stated this. This would have set her apart from those who put up these barriers. Could it be she did not mention who put up more bureaucracy because she had a hand in it?
The first two full sentences of this paragraph are worthless -- even these words don't have value. (These words do not have value, yet this page is talking about money.) This is what the content builders for her website posted. She has people on her staff that waste words for her. She pays them? (Volunteers?) That's saying a lot when Hillary is talking about saving money for small businesses.
Do we trust those numbers listed? How come these figures are not cited? Where is she pulling these statistics?
Again, "Hillary will...," Will she really? How will she do this? Going along with the figures here, how did it get this way, who did this -- Democrats, Republicans, or both?
Also, what is 20x higher than the average for larger firms, the 150 hours or the $1,100 or both? And, if a large firm has 300 employees, and a small business has only three, it seems as though the larger firm is spending more time and money, total than the small business, but, seeing as how we cannot ascertain these figures, we cannot prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt.
And, is Hillary Clinton in any position to talk about money and firms?
Moving on.
"Opening new markets. Every small business across America should be able to enter new markets—whether those markets are across town or across the world. We should invest in the roads, bridges, ports, and airports that make it easier for small businesses to reach new customers, and encourage innovations that unlock new markers for small businesses. Read more here."
Should every small business across America be able to enter new markets? Again, Hillary doesn't say anything here. Things, "should," happen, but, how does she plan to make this happen, she's not even saying.
Furthermore, does Hillary really believe that every small business in America should be able to enter new markets? Would she back Sweet Cakes by Melissa in that business' decisions? How about Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Indiana? Keep in mind, at least one of these businesses is female owned. Isn't that what Hillary said she supports?
Hillary believes this? Does a politician have beliefs?
She has not put forward a plan. Please click that link. It's not a plan, it's a waste of time. The first third reads like a video trying to sell you something; you know the type, you click on it, you can't pause it, you cannot fast forward it to get to the point. The rest of it does not lay out a plan, just what she thinks should happen and what she, "will," do. Does not say how this will happen, just that she believes small businesses should have more. (Again, did she fight for Sweet Cakes by Melissa or Memories Pizza?)
"...unscrupulous big businesses..." We don't know how we should view this. Perhaps Hillary Clinton knows unscrupulous big businesses because she has been part of so many of them, perhaps she just knows unscrupulous because she has lived it.
We clicked the link. It talks about Hillary investing money (how has, "Hillary," and, "Investing," out in the past?). Where is she getting this money, that is, from where is she taking it?
Ultimately, Cheers POS cannot get behind Hillary's Small business proposal for the following reasons:
1. She has not significantly proposed anything for small business.
2. She has had over 40 years in law & politics and she has not shown a single accomplishment that she has brought to the table (one of the links on the page does show her voting record. Only one bullet point on this page would we view as an accomplishment, the one where she lists she spearheaded connecting small rural businesses to new markets. Not that she mentions that that has gone well.).
3. She has been funded by tax payers both directly and indirectly (as gubernatorial and presidential first lady), and what has she done with that money?
4. This is not all up to her. Remember, three branches in American Government -- executive, legislative, and judicial. Of the legislative, there are two bodies, the House of Representatives & the Senate, which makes up Congress. If Hillary is elected, yet the Congress remains a Republican majority, how much of what Hillary says should happen will happen? (And, if it doesn't, she has a great scapegoat!)
5. Have you seen Hillary Clinton's, "Issues," page? Hillary Clinton has a lot of Issues. https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/ She is not a business woman, she is a politician, that is, Hillary Clinton a sell-out, and we cannot buy that. She's saying a lot of things that she may think a lot of people want to hear, but, she is not saying anything at all. We don't need somebody like that again.
Ultimately, Donald Trump sums it up on his website, "Politicians can talk but they don’t get things done."
We, as a small business, want a businessman in the Oval Office, not a politician.
~Cheers!
