    Default For Those Who Own A Business or Their Family Own's One

    Please share this if you own a small business, have a family member who owns a small business. We didn't use our capital $, work 12/14 hour days, 6 days a week for anyone but ourselves and our family. Government sure as hell didn't give me my seed/capital money, a low interest rate business loan, as I'm an AMERICAN CITIZEN, not an Immigrant or an Illegal. Obana wouldn't know what it's like to do your payroll and find that after that full work week, you can't pay yourself but you keep on going!

    Post on your FB, Twitter, Emails, etc. Thank you from all small business owners in the USA!

    I normally don't get political, but these last 4 years have been the worst since I came back to the States in 1974!! And Carter was pretty bad, I had to use my Dutch passport when traveling abroad during his time.

    On FB - Like to applaud this man's bravery. The city threatened to sue him $150 per day for having this sign on his PRIVATE business. Liberals don't value free speech, do they?

    I am applauding you - couldn't agree more.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Our small business is being raked over the coals. Unfortunately, everything that the present administration has put into play will never be revoked. They have gotten their claws into small businesses never to be released. Another way to grab money, why let go.

    Not asking you to comment...Anyone can re-post.

    I did think this was funny ...

    The caterer for Obama’s event today in Iowa was wearing a Mitt Romney shirt reminding the President that HE built his business, not the government.

    'Cause I sure would have created a T-Shirt to wear like that if I got a contract to do anything involved with him showing up in my town.

    Can completely understand your feelings. The little guy gets farther behind, and the fat cats rake it in. They don't understand because they have never been in the position of living from pay check to paycheck. I think they all should live on what we do for a year, and see how happy they are then. You know, live like the majority, the working class people that can't get ahead. Our local paper is in terrible financial difficulties, so how does the CEO manange to get a $300K bonus. Really?

    Same here, when he came into office. After 8 years in business - I had seven employees, two full-time for whom I paid health insurance - the PTs could buy their own if they had no coverage. The economy was already doing poorly, instead of concentrating about the economy/jobs, he went after Healthcare. Clients couldn't renew their contracts as they were losing their customers, slowly no more PT staff. Sadly FT staff had to go to PT, told them to look for jobs as contracts lengths became shorter or just by the job/order. After three years (a total of 11 years of hard work) it became me, myself and I again. As well as many of my clients and other peers, competitors, businesses in the community. Now we have a Healthcare program, no jobs, employers who will cut more jobs as they have no profit margins as they have been cutting for the last four years. What more can a small business owner cut. Or for that matter, middle class families!?! We've cut all we've can and yet with this drought we'll be looking at higher prices for groceries, along with upcoming winter fuel cost...we'll all have to tighten the belt some more.

    His statement of "You didn't build your business!" was just the last drop that did me in take a stand for all small business owners, especially small business women ownerships.
