As Katie Payne would say, “we are in violent agreement.”

And I have not been as active in politics as I should – shame on me because I used to do online public affairs for a living.

My two cents to the taxation insanity is that I was blessed this past year with starting my own LLC, having success beyond my wildest dreams – and discovering some unpleasant taxation facts.

I was ok with having to pay both sides of social security. But a “small business tax?” Mired in the worst economic climate since the Great Depression, it is as insane as it gets to tax the economic engine that will drive our way out of the recession. Eighty percent of all new jobs are created by small businesses.

Insanity. And you reminded me that I have to get off my ass, use my background and at least make my voice heard.
