text: It's clear that most of the people writing about this topic have never run a small business. I do and I recognise that the most important condition for encouraging a small business is that the financial rules remain predictable. The economy is doing OK so leave the system alone. If we know what the rules are now and for a good distance into the future, we can conduct our businesses accordingly.   In this particular instance, "reform" isn't progress, "stability" would be.
