Why not take $2-3 billion of the $2.3 TRILLION headed for large GREEDY financial institutions and make it available to small SOFTWARE companies-- under 100 employeesto drive innovation, increase SMB productivity, and help SMBs put Americans back to work
Why not match individual investment dollar with government investment dollar and take an equity position as a shareholder along side of the founders of these small companies
Why not provide investor incentives to help small businesses raise working capital by providing individuals with tax-free status on the first $250,000 in capital gains on qualified SMB investments
Why not increase the probability of a return on government investment with these main street SMB companies over anything you might come to expect from the bailout of wall street
Why not invest in main street, technology savvy SMB, rather than the bailout of wall street financial engineers
