Bernie Sanders’s early primary success has the business community fretting about the anti-inequality economic policies he would champion if he wins the White House and starting to speak out against him.
“I’m afraid, eventually, that the middle class and small businesses will suffer,†said small businessman Josh Malone, who invented Bunch O Balloons, a device that fills 100 balloons with water and ties them within a minute.
Malone is not alone in his assessment of Sanders. A majority of small-business owners favor President Trump winning the White House over Sanders come November, 52% to 48%, respectively, according to a recent poll by Gallup and payment processor Square Inc. The same poll showed small-business owners favoring former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a head-to-head matchup against Trump, 52% to 48%.
