I think this bill is a step in the wrong direction for small business owners like myself. It may make it harder for us to access the capital we need to grow and succeed. Did you know that this bill could potentially limit our ability to attract investors?

I don't like this bill at all. It's gonna mess with my small business and make it harder for me to get the capital I need to keep things running smoothly. I just don't see how this is gonna help anyone in the long run. It's frustrating to see these kinds of things getting passed without really thinking about the impact on us regular folks.
