Dentali wrote:"Yes thank you Rebecca
First I would like to politely ask we refrain from continuing the pie metaphor, my flight was delayed and I had to skip dinner to be here on time."
Fowler and ome of the audience chuckle
"You are right in that sometimes bad things happen and the economy weakens. But during the times things are hardest we shouldn't be imposing more of a burden on our people. If we increase taxes on those businesses and the rich, they are going to have to cut costs. That means layoffs, that mean higher pricers for the consumer, worse products, or the company closes its doors because they can't afford to operate. Raising taxes means that companies based in the United States are going to look to move to countries with lower taxes and operating costs. Once again its well meaning, but ultimately it will just make the situation worse."
Fowler looked down momentarily and then continued in a somber tone
"I grew up above a small business, my parents appraised houses for a living. Wasn't great money but it was a living, it helped but me and my sister through school. When the housing bubble burst it hit us hard, and that bubble came from people with very good intentions but who ultimately failed to see the forest for the trees. Now i've spoken with my parents and small business owners across Vermont and across the nation and I can tell you for a fact that every single one has said that excessive regulations and taxes hurt their business every day. And however well intentioned Democrats will only breed more of it."
