Republican's give lip service and white wash that they are pro small business advocates, yet their actions are to the contrary.
If you investigate the current Republican's fiscal policy platform, you will learn they are more interested in policy that advocates for large corporations and limits wealth to a few, than the open entrepreneur market that spreads the wealth among a large diverse commerce market. They are not a friend of small business as they say they are. It is only white wash to get their vote. Little has materialized to assist small business. The last time the Republican's assisted small businesses was the passage and formation of the SBA in 1953, that had a very strong bipartisanship vote. But all that changed with the Reagan Revolution of the 1980's.
(The SBA has survived a number of threats to its existence. In 1996 the then newly Republican-controlled House of Representatives planned to eliminate the agency. The SBA survived and went on to receive a record high budget in 2000. However, renewed efforts by the Bush Administration to end the SBA loan program have met congressional resistance, although the SBA's budget has been repeatedly cut, and in 2004 certain expenditures were frozen).
