I was self-employed for 20 years and have been working for a small manufacturing business for 10 years as its President and Business Manager. There is nothing more rewarding, or more terrifying than owning and or running a small business. It takes gumption, nerves of steal, vision and tenacity. The government hates small business owners because we don't suck up to it, even though we are the backbone of the economy . Actually, that's why government does everything possible to make it difficult if not impossible to for us to succeed. Believe me, the feeling is mutual. Most small business owners hate government right back.

Hello: This is my first time to comment.

I was talking to a liberal couple a couple of weeks ago. Good conversion but I felt I could not disagree with them or thing would get nasty. His point of view is there is a lot of greed in our country. A business or company could pay its employees $15 or $20 dollars an hour instead of $10 or $12 an hour and the business would still do well. But the owner is greedy and wants to make a million dollars a year.

People who don't create anything and don't understand what goes into it sometimes feel that way. To them, everything is easy and magic and just happens....and it's like, "Okay, if you really feel that way, create their own business and pay people whatever you want. No one is stopping you. Why don't you show the world how it's done?"
