Well said, indeed.

Elitists, idealists, academic ttheorists and vacuous ideologues will never understand or fully appreciate the mechanics of a sound economy. Economic power is achieved on the investment, sweat, sacrifice, inventivenss, diligence and commonsense of small businessmen like yourself.

Despite government’s seemingly relentless attempts to destroy the economic vitality of this country, it is your entrepreneurial spirit alone which creates wealth for everyone and holds it together for us all. You are what our founding fathers had in mind when fashioning American exceptionalism. You are the sinew of American strength.

Don’t let ‘em get ya’ down. Thank you!

I am sorry that you had no work today but I am thankful that you wrote this post with your “free” time.

You are exactly correct and this is what people who are pro-big government (whether they be Republicans who cut taxes and go crazy with deficit spending or Democrats who raise taxes and then spend those revenues and put us into deficits) don’t get – Taxation = theft! That’s it, taxing your income, your business, your purchases, your services (check you cell phone bill as an example there are at least 5 taxes, some called surcharges but still taxes) is THEFT! The only reason the police don’t come and arrest the thief is because the thief is over and above the police.

We could begin to restore some sanity to our government by repealing the 16th ammendment and taking away Congressional power over the fruits of our labor. This done we can abolish the IRS of which we will no longer have any need (not that we ‘need’ it now) and chop a little of the Fed. budget right off the top…

Anyway Joe keep up the good work and thanks for bringing Job’s to our community

Thank you for providing Jobs.
I too am a small business and could not agree with you more. Between excessive regulations and taxes its just a little harder I have to work and a little less I make. Each new tax or regulation is always “Just a little more” soon enough they break your back. I get irked when I read blogs or see protestors saying I am unfair. Because I pay the same rate. They forget that is piled on federal taxes and other benefits I must provide and regulations I need to attend to. I do not think these are bad people just misinformed and taught that we so called “Rich” are unfair. If you love Jobs you have to love the employer.
