Big Business is good for America!

Small business is equally important for Americas future. Big businesses provide jobs and they keep the economy flowing healthily. However, big business shouldn't be so big that it crushes small business under its weight. How do we ensure business doesn't get too big? I am contemplating the idea of tax handicaps. What I mean by that is, if there are several companies competing for the same customer base, the company that is NOT winning the competition should get a tax break, the tax reduction should be determined by the distance between the leader of the competition and the company in last place. Give small business a break so that they can survive the competition. On the opposite end, do not penalize big business for being successful. Big business pays there taxes as normal. The small businesses receiving the tax breaks can use that savings to grow their business. This way we encourage small business growth and at the same time increase jobs and the flow of tax dollars will keep the economy healthy. There is one problem, for this to work we must not import from companies that left the United States, Do not do business with these companies until they return to the United States. They must learn that Americans will not do business with companies that took jobs to other countries. We Americans are in this boat together, if we do not find ways to make this nation strong and financially sound then history will tell the story of a once great and proud nation that like all great nations and empires before it, fell to complacency and greed.
