Let me break this down for you: The Biden administration is whispering about a tax hike that could drown small businesses in red ink. And don't let them tell you otherwise — these are the very folks trying to keep America working after the pandemic.

The real story here? Nobody's going to tell you on CNN, but this is about stifling growth and hitting those who can least afford it. The administration wants to make small businesses pay for everything else they're planning without considering how much more expensive it will be for you when these businesses go under.

Now let's talk numbers: This isn't just a 5% or 10% bump — we're talking about something that could double the tax burden on many small business owners. That means your local mechanic, your corner coffee shop, and even the mom-and-pop grocer who’s been there for decades.

Here's where it gets tricky: These guys are already struggling with supply chain issues and inflation. You think they can afford to throw more money at Uncle Sam? They sure as hell won't be able to hire that new employee you need, or stock up on the inventory your town needs.

The buried number here is staggering — according to my sources who know these things better than anyone else in Washington does, this tax could literally kill off hundreds of small businesses over the next year alone. And guess what? That's not even a worst-case scenario if inflation gets worse or supply chains don't improve.

So, who benefits from all this? Not you and me. The folks in fancy offices downtown are going to see their budgets for more "stimulus" increase. But at the local level, where real people live and work — that's a disaster waiting to happen.

Now, I'm not here to lecture you on what you should do about it. All I can say is protect yourself, protect your family. If this goes through, be ready for prices to rise even faster than they already are.
