small business owners, a lot is happening. we don't exactly know how it's going to affect us. so when you look at the issues that the candidates are talking about, or should be talking about, what are -- what are the two things that you think we as small business owners most need to pay attention to the vws from the candidates? >> there's really two big important things that i see. and by the way, when you say that i voted for president obama, just to be clear, i'm a registered republican, as well, who voted for george bush twice. and then voted for obama. and so i've kind of, you know, been on both sides of the table there. two things i think are really important for businesses looking forward. number one is the tax environment. overall, taxes represent, to most small businesses, the largest percentage of money that we're paying. our biggest cost. for many of us it's 25%, 30, 35% of our income goes to the federal government for taxes. number one, if the rates are too high, it's less money we have to spend on people and on capital and growing our business, it's a big issue.
