During the final presidential debate, the small business community shared its thoughts on Twitter.
It’s a bittersweet affair for small business owners after the final presidential debate. Many are relieved the debate cycle is over, but they’re also feeling ignored, according to Fortune.
DON’T MISS NFIB’S COVERAGE ON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
“For them, this has been a long, sordid election cycle that has offered too little detail on issues such as healthcare, taxes, immigration, and growing the economy. And for those watching, Wednesday’s contest between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and real estate billionaire Donald Trump at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, broke no new ground.”
Here’s a sampler of some Twitter reactions from small business owners and others:

As a small business owner we take all the deductions we can take I’m not dodging taxes I’m getting all the government allows #debate #trump

Your husband did (cleared the debt) that by tripling taxes for people like my parents, who are immigrants and small business owners!#debate

As a small business owner, the #clinton #taxes and #healthcare plan will cripple my ability to hire full time employees. #debate

If HRC wants ground-up growth, shouldn’t she start by cutting taxes? But who employs the ground? Small business at 35% bad math. #debate

RT if you think that raising the #minimumwage to a job-killing $12 an hour is a bad idea. #debatenight pic.twitter.com/dJS967JPuk

Support #smallbusiness AND raise the #minimumwage… that’s definitely a contradiction in terms. #debate

#Hillary: “I want to help small business” & “raise the minimum wage”
Sorry, Hillary, you can’t do both. They’re mutually exclusive #debate

If I knew the candidates looked like this last November, I wouldn’t have signed on to become a minority small business owner #debate

You will not grow the economy if you confiscate more money from the investors and small business owners. Period. #Debate

The man who stiffs small business says our allies have to ‘pay up’ #debate #trump

Want to help small business? Biggest threat to my business; Obamacare, estate tax, tax code. @HillaryClinton wants to expand all 3 #debate

IDC who you vote for, but if you take away passion, purpose, and general goals – then how will you motivate small biz? #willnotwork #debate
