If you ask most Americans, the economy is the number issue in this presidential election. And for these next 8 weeks, both the Obama and the McCain campaigns will be on the offensive in touting their economic plans as best for the American worker and business. But what about the entreprenuer?

Business Week’s SmallBiz magazine ran an interesing article written by Amy Barrett (“McCain and Obama on Small Business Issues“) on both of the candidates positions as it relates it to small business owners, with a table graphic depicting the candidates’ stances on taxes, health care, trade, and startup incentives. According to Barrett, “those looking to launch a new company and those doing business in the inner city may be interested in Senator Obama’s plans to cut the capital gains rate for investments in small companies and to launch new business incubators. Business owners making more than $250,000 annually or looking to pass a substantial business on to their heirs may find more to like in Senator McCain’s tax policies…”

So for all you prospective and current entreprenuers, what’s more important to you in starting and managing small business?
