NM's Pearce redefines "New Mexico Small Business"
?1511884913
NM-02 misrepresentative steve pearce posted this over the weekend. “Lunch with the family at Rosa’s Cafe, a New Mexico small business.”
I don’t think so.
Rosa’s Cafe is a chain of over 40 locations, mostly in Texas, and part of Bobby Cox Companies, a multi-chain conglomerate headquartered in Texas.
Small Business?
Sure the restaurants provide some local employment, mostly low-paying, & collect sales tax, but any corporate trickle-down (?) is not going to fall in New Mexico. The profits are siphoned off to an out-of-state corporation. If pearce can’t figure out what a New Mexico business is, he doesn't belong in congress, nor in Santa Fe.
