9. Have you ever written an article about your perspective as a small businessman?

I feel like it would be useful to have that perspective, maybe try to get some media attention. It would be great to be able to counter the right wing spin that Democrats want to hurt small businesses.

One question I have for you in particular: wouldn't raising the Social Security and/or Medicare age hurt your business by essentially forcing you to retain workers for two more years long after they have reached their peak productivity? My understanding is that the ADEA was enacted in part because employers were pushing workers out after 50, when their salaries went up and they were down from their peak productivity level. So wouldn't it hurt businesses if the government forced seniors to work for two additional years and shifted their health care costs onto employers?
