Feras Alhlou breaks down how federal, state, and local policies on taxes, regulations, and funding directly shape whether entrepreneurs can succeed. He argues business owners need to research local measures and propositions, not just national races, and vote accordingly.
Policies at the federal level, at the state level, at the local level do impact entrepreneurship in a big way. It could be around taxation, it could be around the regulations and guidelines that business owners have to deal with, it could be about access to funding and also the ease of doing business. So as a business owner, as an entrepreneur, do your part and learn about these measures, these propositions. Don't be just occupied with the national tickets. I know everybody's focused on the presidential campaign and you're going to vote this way or that way, but also pay a lot of attention to the local measures, to the propositions, because when you vote, you are making a difference. That vote could make a measure pass or fail. Whether you are leaning right or leaning left, that's for you to decide, but do your part and do some research and understand what you're voting on and do what you think is best for you, for your family, for your community, and for the country.
