Rejected petition Lower employer national insurance contribtions

I want the government to lower the employer national insurance as it is forcing many businesses to close due to the high costs of employing staff.

More details

Businesses are closing due to the rise in employer national insurance. It is also stopping people from recruiting due to the high cost of the insurance. It is highly unfair that small business owners are being made to pay higher costs whilst corporations seem to not be affected. This is not helping our country to grow.
