As a small business owner I'm an oily pelican and that isn't going to change anytime soon. The country as a whole is not on a sustainable path for solvency and growth and that hurts small business tremendously. 70% of the citizens of this country know it and that makes us anxious and apprehensive thus we don't want to commit to anything. The remaining 30% of the citizens support the current self-destructive path we are on including the current federal administration which displays a stunning lack of leadership. Until the path is corrected, unemployment will remain very high. I agree George. As a small business owner I’m an oily pelican and that isn’t going to change anytime soon.

You would add these benefits to be an attractive employer, not to get a tax credit. Similarly, if you created a $40,000 annual job, it would be because you need the additional labor, not to get the tax credit. The credits are just a little bit of help. If your business isn't self sustaining, perhaps you should look for a good employer yourself.
