Please don't speak for us

The hot political phrase at the moment is "job creators." All the political animals, especially the GOP types, have been spouting what they're sure the small companies that create jobs really need to make the economy grow. That includes the silly claim that "job creators ... are 'on strike' and are not hiring because of too many government regulations."

Actual job creators are annoyed at what is being said in their name.

The GOP, of course, is saying what big corporations want them to say and then claiming that is what small business wants.

Here's what small business want:

To be committed to and create value for the community.

To have access to capital to grow their business. The GOP cut the Small Business Administration lending program and Boehner dismissed the idea of cutting taxes for small business.

To have sound local banks they can turn to.

To get Obama's American Jobs Act passed.
