[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of MAGA are small business owners.  I find it shocking that the GOP is turning their back on them.  They are Main Street America.  The tax cuts will help but the tariffs are going to eat all that up and more.

It IS shocking, isn't it? I thought small businesses were supposed the backbone of the Republican Party. Well, the MAGA government has turned a blind eye to their cries for help. The Chamber of Commerce CEO recently sent a letter to the Trump administration begging for small businesses to be excluded from tariffs. No relief for you says the Trump administration!

[quote]In a letter sent to the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday, Suzanne Clark, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, asks for an "automatic exclusion" from new tariffs for U.S. small businesses that import goods from abroad. Small businesses do not have the margin or capital reserves to survive an increase in tariffs, Clark wrote in the letter. "The Chamber requests the administration take immediate action to save America's small businesses and stave off a recession," she wrote.[/quote]

The response from the Trump administration?

[quote]The White House on Thursday rebuffed an effort to give small U.S. business owners any immediate relief from tariffs, saying those companies would get economic relief from tax cuts that Congress is seeking to extend.[/quote]
