Jensen Bohren: Small businesses need same subsidy that big businesses get

I believe that small businesses, the heart and souls of our towns' economy, should have the same governmental subsidy that all businesses currently enjoy at the 7.25 minimum wage. The large corporations can afford to pay a living wage without becoming unprofitable. Small businesses cannot. With the minimum wage increase, I believe that 60% of employees' wages should be supplemented as an encouragement to our small businesses' hiring practices.

Jensen Bohren: Wall Street needs regulations to stop manipulating prices

In addition to disrupting monopolies, we must re-regulate Wall Street to protect the general public and avoid severe recession and, God forbid, any depressions. Also, to discourage dishonest inflation of stock prices, there should be a small tax, comparable in rate to one of the higher sales taxes, on re-buys of a company's own stock. These stock rebuys are a major component of our stock market and allow a company to manipulate the price of its stock.

David Baria: Tax giveaways are trouble when obligations aren't met

Every agency underwent budget cuts, some as severe as 18%. These are serious cuts to programs such as˙emergency management and mental health. Over the past 5 legislative sessions, tax cuts totaling over $620M have been doled out to special interests on the˙prayer that jobs will result. It is irresponsible to cut revenue when you cannot meet your current obligations. This is the situation--underfunded schools, local hospitals on the verge of closing and roads and bridges deemed dangerous.
