At the EntreLeadership Summit in Denver, financial expert Dave Ramsey delivered a scathing critique of Washington lawmakers, urging them to “do [their] job” and protect Americans’ hard-earned money.
He emphasized the need for Congress to pass legislation that allows citizens to retain more of their income, stating, “It’s pretty simple.”
“It’s all this political infighting, this absolute BS, at the end of the day. Except for these massive things like, again, just governing. This idea that we love small business in Washington is an absolute load of horse manure,” he said, Fox News reported.
“These guys in here will tell you, they spent half their lives and a lot of money just trying to keep from getting the snot beat out of them by Washington,” he said of the small business owners at the summit.
“If Congress will do [its] job and pass this bill or some semblance of this bill and let us keep our money to hire people and grow the economy, that’s how this thing works. And if you can get, you know, the tariff thing smoothed out where you’ve got a predictable environment. It doesn’t even matter what the tariff is. What we need is a predictable environment,” the financial guru said.
“If I know this is what my cost is, then I know that this is [what] my price is. Or I know I can’t make it in that country anymore, I need to make it a different country. And I’ve got to resource, you know, reset my resources,” he said.
He said that uncertainty about trade and taxes is a killer for small businesses.
“All I need is a predictable environment, and then I’ll pivot and I’ll exist. It’s the unpredictability that kills business in general, but it’s devastating to small business,” he said.
