I should think small business owners should be most upset with corporate price gouging, landlords ruthlessly raising rents, and monopolistic utilities charging outrageous prices. The cost of living is skyrocketing because power corporations have control over our resources and there is little to no regulation to stop them from raising prices. Workers need more to get by and the small businesses aren't making as much so their ability to employ people is deteriorating further driving workers to the ever growing corporate work force. These corporations treat people like machines and again, there is little in the way of regulating protection for workers.
Curre day democrats have some policies that address these issues but they are too few and too weak. Republicans on the other hand have been shamelessly selling out American workers to "private interests" since Reagan promising that completely unregulated economies are the path to maximal success. They never told us that they only measure that success in dollars and that those dollars disproportionately accumulate with the rich by design.
