The Democrat party used to be the party of the working man. I am not sure they ever represented the American entrepreneur, but some recent statements by Marie Harf suggest that the small businessmen in America have been willingly thrown under the bus by today’s Democrat party.<\/p>\n
BizPac Review<\/a> posted an article yesterday about some recent comments by Marie Harf on Fox News Sunday.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n In response to a statement from host Chris Wallace that, while 66,000 people have died from coronavirus tens of millions have lost their jobs, Harf appeared to suggest that reopening small businesses wasn\u2019t going to produce much in terms of bolstering the economy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe are about to embark on a situation where we\u2019ll see if people can, on their own, social distance, if people independent of government regulations or stay-at-home orders, can act responsibly,\u201d she began.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd if they can\u2019t, and if we see spikes in some of these places, will these governors be willing to change course in midstream? That\u2019s something we will all see together in real-time,\u201d Harf continued.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n In fact, some experts have predicted there will be \u201cspikes\u201d on coronavirus infections because they maintain that keeping Americans at home prevented the formation of \u201cherd immunity\u201d<\/span><\/a> that is necessary to prevent recurrences of the outbreak.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n In any event, Harf continued with Left-wing talking points, claiming the country needs \u201cmore testing\u201d and \u201ccontact tracing\u201d of people who are infected, \u2014 the latter of which is code for \u2018invading privacy\u2019 with a government-mandated tracking app.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSo, the economy, even if we open nail salons, hair salons Chris, the economy isn\u2019t really<\/i> going to get going again until we can travel, until we can move around the country,\u201d she claimed. \u201cIt will not get going in a really meaningful way by opening small businesses in certain places, and so we have to get all of those things I just mentioned to eventually get to a place where the economy really can open back up.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThat is not happening anytime soon,\u201d Harf said.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Just for the record, Inc.<\/a> posted an article that illustrates how many Americans are employed by small businesses.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n As of the 2010 Census<\/a>, there were 27.9 million small businesses registered in the United States, compared to just 18,500 companies of 500 employees or more. Included in that total figure are sole proprietorships (73.2 percent), corporations (19.5 percent), and franchises (2 percent). 52 percent of small businesses are home-based. The most important thing to note? 9<\/strong>9.7 percent of U.S. employer firms are small businesses.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n I am not convinced that anyone in the Democrat party has studied either economics or the American economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Democrat party used to be the party of the working man.
