I never saw why there is this liberal deference to small business. At this stage in the game, we should be moving to nationalize economic functions, not decentralize them.
Yes central planning worked really well for all of the Communist countries.
So it's better for people to be out of work and have no income than it is for people to have a job, be ga and being a productive member of society? Even the lowest job, will provide a record of important skills for success (ie. attendance, timeliness, attention to detail, etc.) and demonstrate that might be worthy of moving up. Oh wait I forgot central planners want everyone to be dependent on the government.
Besides you don't need to be able to aford drink at Starbucks 7 times a week to survive. One of my friends just moved into a trailer park, with rent, food, and beer he needs about $300/mo to live confortably. Of course the central planners probably want to tear down the trailer park and build "low-income" houses which will rent for $400-$500/month.
