Don't kid yourself, small business people are not going to shutdown in mass. They have it too good. Same with doctors and health care. Doctors are not going to lay down their stethoscopes in mass in protest, nor will they stop seeing Medicare patients. Quit listening to Glenn Beck and Rush. Try doing you own thinking for a change. Glen and Rush are getting rich, no richer, off you.
Small business owners have it too good? Your 146 IQ is getting in the way of the facts. They take the most risk, which is foreign to most that depend on the government saving them.
In the US, small business (less than 500 employees) accounts for around HALF the GDP and more than HALF the employment. Regarding small business, the top job provider is those with less than 10 employees, and those with 10 or more but less than 20 employees comes in as the second, and those with 20 or more but less than 100 employees comes in as the third. Firms with less than 20 employees account for slightly more than 18% of the employment.
Of the 5,369,068 employer firms in 1995, 78.8 percent had fewer than 10 employees, and 99.7 percent had fewer than 500 employees.
As for doctors, there will be plenty of them. Just not good ones. The exodus of doctors and health care providers happened in the UK. They filled the vacuum by importing foreign doctors and granting them and their families citizenship. So, no problem, we’ll import doctors from Pakistan and Mexico to work for $50K a year.
This is what price controls do. They don’t control the price; they just shift the cost from monetary to non-monetary.
