Schneider, Dold See Small Business Reducing Unemployment
With only 80,000 new jobs added to the economy in June, job creation promises to be a major campaign issue for Congress. Take the Patch poll voicing your opinion on the best way to add jobs.

Small business is the economic force both Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) and his Democratic opponent in the Nov. 6 general election, Brad Schneider of Deerfield, see as the country’s job creation force.
While Schneider and Dold think America’s small businesses need easier access to capital and less regulatory burden, their campaigns are wasting little time branding the other as more extreme than their words show.
Earlier: Dold, Schneider Try To Defy Labels
A firm idea of how to create jobs promises to be a key component of the fall campaign in the wake of Friday’s report showing only 80,000 new jobs created in June. Unemployment remains at 8.2 percent with underemployment at 14.9 percent, according to a report on CNBC.
Both graduates of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, Dold and Schneider have experienced success with small business. Before going to Congress, Dold ran his family’s 150-year-old pest control company. Schneider has not only turned around an insurance business, he has been a consultant to large and small operations.
“With small businesses being the engine of economic growth for the past two decades, accounting for the vast majority of new jobs during the period, we must ensure that they have access to capital,” Schneider said.
Dold touts his Main Street Jobs Agenda as the way out of the current economic morase. That program calls for giving small business the ability to find money it needs to grow more easily and reduce regulatory burden.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy,” Dold said on his Congressional website. “Right now they are burdened with uncertainty, red tape, and unknown regulations. We must implement smart regulations that get rid of red tape so that businesses are empowered to get moving again.”
Dold, Schneider Want to Lessen Regulation of Small Business
Schneider has no disagreement with Dold when it comes to the regulation of small business. He also wants to help them hire more workers through targeted tax incentives.
“We should be easing the burden of unnecessary regulation and offering targeted tax incentives for small businesses to grow, hire new employees, and pay higher wages,” Schneider said.
While neither Dold nor Schneider are specific about how they would change the tax laws to help small business, tax reform is part of Dold’s Main Street Agenda. “We must fix our tax code and implement pro-growth reforms so that we can spur the economy and get people back to work,” he said.
Campaiagns Attack Each Other
Meanwhile, Dold campaign spokesperson John McGovern considers Schneider’s proposals part of the reason job growth is slow. “Brad Schneider continues to tout his support of more spending, more taxes and more regulation that is job-killing, not job-creating,” McGovern said.
While McGovern tries to paint a picture of Schneider as someone who would increases taxes and spending, Schneider Campaign Manager Reed Adamson ties Dold to the Tea Party and blames him for what he considers the ineffectiveness of the House of Representatives.
“Instead of focusing on strengthening our economy or creating jobs, Congressman Bob Dold and the Tea Party in Washington have simply created more gridlock,” Adamson said. “Congressman Dold and his partisan ideology had their chance and they failed.”
Patch readers now have their chance to voice an opinion on what is needed to increase job growth in the country by taking the latest unscientific poll. The survey is about issues, not candidates. The poll closes at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Patch will share the results Thursday.

It seems like this poll is starting from a false premise. Small business' don't really create jobs. Most of them go out of business after a year or two. Drive past strip malls in Buffalo Grove and you'll see the churn that small business creates. What we need is better methods of small business turning into large business. That is where permanent job growth comes from. So my answer is none of the above.

44% of US payroll is from small business. You discount it as mostly going out of business within 2 years, and unimportant. You can't ignore a segment that employees 44%. Not every Company is a Bain or even aspires to be one. The poll does not give valid answers. How to stimulate the economy? Keep Bush Tax Cuts for those making less than $250k (most chapter S small business make under 250), raise taxes on the wealthy earners bringing stability to the question of when it will finally happen because it must, begin rebuilding American infrastructure, do something about housing so foreclosure does not hang over so many heads (Romney/Dold 59 point plan says nothing about housing), end tax loopholes and subsidies for big oil, encourage national service, regulate banking, and Wall Street and stop the insane market influence through gambling attitude they have developed, stop Nation building elsewhere and build this Nation!

I take Adamson's comment about the Tea Party creating gridlock as a compliment. Since the regulations, uncertainty, red tape, regulations and tax implications have all been jacked up in the years with supermajorities in both houses of congress. Passing legislation is not usually a good thing, unless it is to undo what has recently been done.

"Schneider Campaign Manager Reed Adamson ties Dold to the Tea Party and blames him for what he considers the ineffectiveness of the House of Representatives."
Let's see, how many bills have the House passed, some with bipartisan support, and sent to the Democratically controlled Senate? How many of those bills make it to the floor for a vote?
It seems to me that the Senate is the "do-nothing" side but for some reason that doesn't seem reasonable, the House gets that tag.

The Schneider attempts to portray Dold as a Tea Party adherent are deliberate falsehoods. If Dold "voted the party line 82%" of the time, and yet Karen May (87%) and Susan Garrett (85%) voted the "party line" more often, why then do Democrats insist that May and Garrett are "independent" and Dold is not, but is a mere robotic creature of the Tea Party? Perhaps the Schneider campaign should start singing a different tune about Dold or instead disavow the endorsements of "party liners" like May and Garrett?

Louis, we've had this point from you before, and unfortunately Mr. Dold votes the way Boehner and Cantor want him to. He votes moderately when his vote makes no difference to the outcome. Vote padding in this manner to appear either Moderate (in his case) or liberal or whatever has been around a long time. He was endorsed by the Tea Party when he ran the first time. Since their popularity is waning and he needs to appear 'moderate' to possible win this election, the Zebra is changing stripes. It will wash off if he gets elected or if they need his vote (like on the 11th when he will vote to repeal letting children stay on parents healthcare insurance until 26, or exclusion of pre existing conditions, etc).

Brad Schneider:
Supports Cap and Trade raising taxes on small businesses and middle class families.
Supports repeal of ALL of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts even for those making $30,000.
Supports taxing middle income individuals who don’t have the money to buy health insurance.
And what does he plan to do with all the new tax revenue from the middle class? Pass Obama’s $500,000,000,000 stimulus plan which Schneider said WASN’T BIG ENOUGH!

One more time kids: The Total State cannot create jobs. "Create" is not synonymous with "redistribute."
If wealth creation precedes job creation and the State cannot create wealth, how does it follow that the State can create jobs?

McCloud, Jan Schakowsky said, 10 minutes after the SCOTUS decision on the courthouse steps, "I would like to see doctors unionize." A doctor's strike will be good for the elderly and very young. Preganancy termination will be managed via union negotiation- already in the Union Doctor rule book draft, Article 2, Section 8, "All failed abortion attempts wherein a live birth occurs due to no fault of the attending medics, such medics will slam the small breathing human animal upon the nearest hard surface, preferably a cold tile floor, until no indication of life force exists and shall then depart the area-returning, and not prior to, extinction is certain, and body disposal is the sequential procedural action".

@Abigail - Similarly, centrists do not appreciate the comments from the far right accusing us of trying to destroy the country in our attempt to create a socialist dreamworld. We all know that neither is true. Conservatives are not mean spirited, evil people. Similarly, non-conservatives are not-hell bent on destroying the country. It is the ilk of Sandra Sims, Richard Shulte and Gary who poison the discussion with their blatant lies.
Gary
2:08 pm on Tuesday, July 10, 2012
You are not "trying" to destroy the country by creating a socialist Utopia. Your attempt to create a socialist Utopia IS destroying the country. A subtle, but important, difference. Big government people are never TRYING to create hell on earth, but they always find the path they paved with their good intentions leads to no other destination. We can't live out of each others' pockets and expect to live harmoniously with our neighbors. That should be obvious, but that simple truth gets lost in all the hate and in-fighting doesn't it?
"A government powerful enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take everything you have."
You might want to reconsider who's really on your side. Am I a bigger threat to you than those 159 new agencies created under ObamaCare?
... and I don't engage in gratuitous insults.
Abigail

Abigail
1:59 pm on Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Me, those comments and the comments made by Sandra are not the same thing and you know it. It's one thing to call someone out on their idealogy (for example, the socialist leanings of some on the left), but an entirely different story when someone like Sandra makes a blanket statement that all conservatives are ignorant, racist, and smelly.
If you'd like, I can tell you exactly what I think of people on the left, but then I would be stooping to Sandra's level of ignorance. One thing I am not is ignorant.
Sandra is one of those posters who does a 'hit and run.' She makes a few inflammatory statements about conservatives and then when she is called on it she disappears only to appear sometime in another post doing the same thing all over again. And what she is doing is trying to incite people and insulting conservatives. Personally, I think she's a plant from the Obama campaign, but then I would think they'd have smarter people.
Sandra Sims
2:56 pm on Tuesday, July 10, 2012
So you hate people on the left, but won't say it in so many words, you prefer to just make up ridiculous lies like McCloud and his gasping baby. Why don't you grow up and say what you mean? And everyone who thinks people like you are repulsive is not "a plant from the Obama campaign". Paranoid much? Paranoid and delusional is no way to go thru life. And yes, you do indeed smell.

You think she is ignorant? Look in the mirror sister. Ignorance starts as thought... misguided & unintelligent... yet a thought. How one chooses to communicate it (publicly or privately) is not the point. Perhaps you read Emily Post and Sandra does not, however, you have revealed your ignorance in that one sentence. Good showing.

Oh Abigail, you really should read things before you post them. If you want to avoid the appearance of ignorance, you would be best served to keep them to yourself. Don't even infer them. Just have the good graces to keep them to yourself.
And yes, Richard Shulte, Gary and others let the insults fly freely. That is precisely why their comments have no credibility.

Sandra, I think you may be the one who is racist. You are indicating that most of the tea party people are racist because they are white. It sounds to me like you are the one who is racist--against white people.
As for the New Mexico Tea Party displaying the Confederate flag--I guess that goes to prove there can be racists in any group. Just look at some of the blacks who targeted white people and claimed it was because of Trayvon Martin. Yes, that's racist too and equally unacceptable. Don't point fingers at a group unless you are willing to defend what the opposing side (your side) is doing.

"It only took a 20 page document to create an entire country". Gary...the era in which the founding fathers lived was...I would guess...a tad less complex than the era in which we live. Their sources of information were carried on horseback after all. A 20 page proclamation must have created some mighty painful hand cramps back in that day. Even still I am guessing they knew the difference between apples and oranges...which seems to elude you.

J.Lyn,
Nope. The Constitution was written with a thorough understanding of human nature, and human nature has not changed one bit since it's writing.
Freedom is easy to describe, but controlling everyone in the country with agencies and bureaucrats takes hundreds of thousands of pages of rules, regulations, set-asides, penalties, favors, etc. Death by a thousand cuts.
We can either live in a country where we are governed by the decisions of each individual making informed decisions based on their own knowledge and circumstance, or we live in a country where we are governed by the few who write these laws and hope they have made a decision that will work for every single one of us. Which do you choose?

Ms Sims, for someone who has never met me, you have assumed to know about me. But you really don't. I do not hate people on the left--everyone is entitled to their opinion, but personal attacks and accusations do not belong in any debate. This seems to be the MO for some on the left--personally attack those who you disagree with, call them names and insult them. Not a great way to debate an issue.
One other thing, I'm not going to tolerate continued personal attacks from you--it stops now.

With all these new 'programs,' maybe I can get a government job. But, then again, they might not hire me because I am a conservative.
Sandra Sims

Nah, that was the Bush Administration. They had a requirement that anyone hired had to be Republican and swear allegiance to Bush. Romney is doing the same now to Republican delegates. It's all very Nazi-esque. The reason the Government won't hire you is because you have the IQ of an overripe banana. Have a nice day, teabag.

Mr Romney actually paid too much income tax. See he makes his money on investments, also known as taking a risk. These risks many times turn out bad, and the risk taker loses it all. Sometimes the risks pay off, and lead to jobs for other people, something has not occured much in the last three years. The risk taker is not without calculating the risk, with uncertain tax liabilities, Obamacare taxes, speeches about stickin it to the risk takers, regulations and entitlements galore, the risk taker takes his ball and goes home and the game is over.

Just got an email willing to share, since don't have the patience to read 2800 pages.
The HHS mandate is really a tax.
And the IRS will levy this tax on every Catholic school, hospital, and soup kitchen in the United States.
How much is this Obamacare tax?
It's $100 per day, per employee. That's $36,500 annually -- for every employee. There isn't a single Catholic school anywhere in America that can afford this massive tax.
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-WI, just authored a new bill today to remedy this. It's called the Religious Freedom Tax Repeal Act.
Call your Representative today at 202-224-3121.
Urge them to co-sponsor the Sensenbrenner bill, which will stop the tax on religious freedom!
Why is it so urgent for Catholics to support this bill and stop the notorious HHS tax on religious freedom?
Because as Justice John Marshall once famously said: “The power to tax involves the power to destroy.”
And a $36,500 yearly tax on every employee is a recipe for destroying our cherished Catholic institutions. Now that the Supreme Court gave Obamacare a pass, religious schools and hospitals are counting on you to fight for their freedom.
RB

$100 per day? For every employee? Show me the facts!
This from the National Catholic Journal,.,, The U.S. bishops have supported universal health care for decades. They should not -- they cannot -- back away now.The U.S. bishops' own teaching document "Faithful Citizenship" rightfully points out: "A lack of health care [is] a serious moral issue that challenges our consciences and require[s] us to act."
The goal of universal and affordable health care has been one of the most frustratingly elusive policy objectives of the Catholic bishops and others committed to social justice for decades.
Harry Truman tried. Lyndon Johnson tried. Richard Nixon tried. Bill Clinton tried. Only Barack Obama got a bill through Congress and signed it.

I have a Quick and Easy Recipe for destroying our(?) cherished(?) Catholic Institutions. In a large bowl mix pure reason with critical thinking. Bring to high boil then set aside for later use. In another bowl use a heavy duty strainer and remove all the hog wash, fairy tales, superstitions, greed, manipulation, hubris and sexual repression from the heavenly cup of holy water. Keep some pieces of fine art to use as garnish. Toss contents of strained bowl down toilet and flush. Flush twice ...just to make sure it's good and gone. Wash hand thoroughly...it's a dirty business. So... there you have it...and taxes are not even an issue. I love recipe sharing...anyone have a variation to share?

Sensenbrenner? I knew I remembered that name, he's the guy that had to apologize for talking slurring the First Lady. Fine fella. Another fine example of what has happenened to the GOP, down the tubes. His facts are way off, betcha!
He is also on a climate change jihad. He looks like he'll be needing that nice Congressional Healthcare policy. Could lose a few pounds.

Thanks for the advice, Penny, but I'm not here to debate. It is impossible to debate right wingers these days, they refuse to see reality and live in their Fox Spews/Limbaugh/Newsmax bubble. It would be like trying to debate with a Golden Retriever., Except that Golden Retrievers are cute and lovable. I am here to point out hypocrisy, idiocy, and lies. And yes, I am abrasive. Sorry, but I didn't create this atmosphere. Rightwing hate radio and Fox Spews did. I'm just living in it. Toodles.

Don't worry george, complete morons like McCloud will get what's coming to them. The very scum they are standing up for will let them down when they need it most, and it will be delicious to watch. I love the pig ignorant Republican middle class defending the very people who are destroying the middle class, and they don't even understand why. All they do is shout "socialism", as they have been programmed to. When what happened to you happens to McCloud and the other morons, they will probably blame Obama, just like that Schulte psycho blames Obama for his complete failure as a human being. And so it goes....

Maybe you should have not complained about your boss or overtime. Are you suggesting the company operate in the red? How do they pay the bills? You seem to not have a handle on this type of system, where companies have expenses, rent, payroll, taxes, insurance, heat, electricity, and soon Obamacare taxes.
Abigail
3:58 pm on Tuesday, July 24, 2012
George, you must be a little short on gray matter. With all the people who are unemployed or underemployed--you had a job and you screwed it up. Now you are blaming everyone except yourself for getting yourself laid off.
If you could prove you weren't paid overtime, you would have reported it and been reimbursed by now, which leads me to believe you have no proof.
Move on with your life and next time keep your complaints to yourself. At least you have one person who feels sorry for you--Sandra Sims, but that isn't saying much.

George, there is one thing you should know--if you have made any false statements on this blog against Congressman Dold, Rose Pest Control, or its management, you could be sued for libel. This is not like gossiping in the grocery line at Jewell, you have put your accusations in writing in an effort to disparage Dold, Rose Pest Control, and its management--you can be sued if they can prove you and your accusations have no merit.

Where's the information on your case against Rose? The one you referenced doesn't involve the labor practices you have been writing about.
Stuart Tindall

No, it's not a lot of info, but it does show that the Plaintiff was awarded damages from Rose. In essence, Rose was in the wrong about something.
Abigail
6:37 pm on Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Why should anyone believe you, George? None of us know you. You can make statements against Dold all day long and we're supposed to believe you?
And just because you have a court case against Rose doesn't mean you have shown us any "facts." This isn't "facts!" It's only a court case that hasn't been decided. If you expect us to believe you when the case hasn't been decided yet, you must think we're all pretty damn stupid.
As I said, come back and talk to us AFTER you have won your case. Until that time, shut up!!

George, you've really hit the big time with Sandra Sims on your side. Leave it to her to make comments that show how uneducated she truly is. She can't have an intelligent conversation with anyone on the blog because she doesn't know how. All she knows how to do is insult people.
You can do better, George.
McCloud
8:54 pm on Tuesday, July 24, 2012
George, now that you have your own business, perhaps you will learn or understand that paying for expenses is money out of your pocket. Things like taxes, including Obamacare taxes coming soon, inhibit one's ambition to risk more by just making payroll now as your goal instead of thinking about next year. Obama has started the war on business, a real conflict as opposed to the manufactured war on women.
Abigail
