Candidates Face-Off on Small Business

Obama also understands the value of Latino-owned small businesses, which Kaavl describes as the backbone of the Latino community and the U.S. economy. He adds, “President Obama’s support for Latino-owned small businesses stands in stark contrast to Mitt Romney, who would double down on the failed policies of the past: tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of investments in areas important to the Latino business community like education, infrastructure and innovation.

“To create middle-class security, we need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world. President Obama will continue to support small businesses across our country so we build an economy that creates the jobs of the future and make things the rest of the world buys.”

One of the ways Romney proposes to create jobs is through exploitation of energy resources. “We want to approve the Keystone pipeline, we want to do more fracking, we want to do nuclear,” Barretto explains.

 

 

 

 

Small Business and the Election

When voters take to the polls Tuesday, both campaigns expect the small business vote to have a major impact on the election.

“President Obama believes supporting Latino-owned small businesses is vital to creating an economy built to last, where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded,” says Kaavl.

Barretto champions the new ideas that Romney represents. “We can continue the big policies we’ve had over the last four years, which has destroyed the middle class and the small business community or we can have new [leadership>. I think small businesses will really make the difference in this election.”
