Are you a struggling small business trying to reopen? Joe Biden says too bad.
By paying people more not to work, Biden’s big government programs are in effect forcing small businesses, many of which barely made it through the pandemic, to compete with higher unemployment payments for workers.
It’s crushing mom-and-pop shops around the country, with many businesses forced to limit working hours and services, close completely on certain days, or jack up their prices on consumers because of the labor shortage.
Here are a few of their stories:

Joe Biden is paying Americans not to work, and small businesses can’t compete. His massive government agenda is crushing small businesses and squandering the recovery he inherited.
