Let me break this down for you: The Biden administration is proposing a series of new tax hikes that are going to hit small businesses harder than ever before. And nobody is going to tell you this on CNN.

You see, they want to make it sound like big corporations will bear the brunt of these taxes — but guess who's actually going to get stuck paying them? That's right, it's your local hardware store, mom-and-pop diner, and every other small business struggling to keep its doors open in this economy.

Now, here’s where they start lying about how bad things really are. The official numbers you hear on the news will sound manageable — but let me tell you, those figures don’t reflect reality at all. I've been watching this for years, and when they revise the numbers quietly on a Friday afternoon, that's when you know something is seriously wrong.

The buried number? That’s right, it's in there somewhere, hiding between the lines of an obscure report. It paints a picture where small businesses are facing tax burdens so heavy, many won’t be able to survive let alone create jobs or keep prices down for their customers like you and me.

So who benefits from all this? Not the little guy trying to make ends meet with his shop downtown. This is about lining the pockets of politicians and big government cronies who care more about power than prosperity.

And let's not forget, previous Democrat administrations have tried similar moves. Every time they claim these policies will help, but it only leads to more red tape, higher costs for small business owners, and ultimately, less competition in the market.

How do we protect ourselves? That’s a tough one. You can’t just stop paying taxes, right? But what you can do is educate yourself about these changes early on — and support local leaders who fight against such oppressive measures.
