Small Businesses

“Free markets make free people. Small business is the backbone of American freedom.” ~ Kevin McClellan

Small Business Freedom

Small business owners don’t need more rules. They need freedom. Right now, small businesses are being crushed by red tape, paperwork, and government requirements — while big corporations skate by with compliance teams and lobbyists. That’s not a free market. That’s rigged.

When small business owners are buried in bureaucracy, they’re not serving customers, growing, or hiring. They’re filling out forms so politicians can pretend they’re “doing something.”

My plan is simple:

• cut red tape

• cut bureaucracy

• cut unnecessary regulations

• lower taxes

Let small businesses do what they do best — build, serve, and compete. We eliminate rules that don’t improve safety or quality. We end duplicative and outdated requirements. We stop using regulation as a weapon for big corporations to squeeze out local competitors. Consumers — not bureaucrats — should decide which businesses succeed.

When small businesses are free to grow:

• jobs increase

• communities thrive

• local ownership survives

A strong economy doesn’t start in Washington. It starts with free, competitive, locally owned businesses.
