Washington politicians line up 10-deep to claim they support small businesses, but they avoid talking about a harsh reality: The system is rigged against small business. These owners can’t afford armies of lobbyists in D.C., but the big corporations can. It’s those armies of lobbyists that create the loopholes and special breaks that let big corporations off the hook for paying taxes. While small businesses are left to pay the bills.

DC will build memorial for LGBT veterans →
In Washington, DC’s Congressional Cemetery, a new memorial thought to be the first of its kind will honor the contributions of LGBT veterans.
The board of directors for the National LGBT Veterans Memorial have already bought the plots and are currently seeking design submissions from artists nationwide. They’re hoping to unveil the monument on Memorial Day 2014.
Russell, a retired Army LTC and chair of the NLGBTVM board of directors, said, “The time has come for those of us who were forced to serve in silence to honor our fellow veterans with a dignified and impressive memorial in our national capitol. The National LGBT Veterans Memorial will provide a fitting resting place where our veterans may, as Leonard Matlovich urged us to do, ‘leave a lasting record of our accomplishments.’”
Four million for you, DC. You go, DC.

Yeah, and you didn’t have to retroactively change your place of residence on your tax returns when running for governor in 2008. You’ve lost the benefit of the doubt, Mr. Romney.
