Fighting the big boys in the government

If you think it is hard to fight the government as small business owner, here is encouraging message. Sam can fight the big boys so can we.

Nail Salon Owner

At 45 she looks so elegant and young; you can tell by her jewelry, she has incredible class. Beautiful hair and well informed of current political events. Although her English was very limited, it was not hard to understand her.

You could see that she was not your average Salon worker. We began to speak about current events. Her demeanor had changed, after short conversation she noted she had lost everything and government was not doing anything about it. She noted cost of everything was up, taxes are going up and business was down.

 

It is so hard to see how everyone has been impacted by out of hand economy and move to socialism. She went on to say, how many of her customers have gone out of business and many are out of work and can not find jobs. Specifically people with over 20 years experience.

 

I asked her where she was from; she said “Vietnam”. I acknowledge that it must have been hard to see millions who died in her country after US pulled out of Vietnam. She remembered a day when they had gone to get what was left over by Americans after they had left. They would sell the items left to feed her family. She was only a child at that time. She noted they were shot at and a person beside her and behind her died. She noted proudly "I was lucky then".

 

They have come in hopes for freedom, hard work, and freedom to earn and be all they could be; now she is going out of business. She noted many were thinking of going back.

 

Sorry to see them go, sorry to see how hopes and dreams of freedom dying.


Home Based Business For Moms

 

I Want to Be There for My Children & Gain Experience
We all know that if we have been moms for couple of years it is hard to get back into job market. It does not matter if you have worked for several years prior to getting married or have not worked at all prior to your marriage, it is hard to get back into working world. They are looking for current experience.
Some of us prefer to be home when our children get home from school and have the freedom to work on our children's project before they go to sleep.
I became a single mom with two children and had not worked for only three years. It seemed that I had stopped working for a decade. During each job interview I tried to put good face to my experience as a mom and managing my family and budget. It worked for me and was ego booster for me, but did not work getting the high paying job that I had before my child was born.
Single mom and not having the luxury to be picky, I was forced to get entry level job as accountant in hopes that I would work my way up. This meant that my children had to take pay cut that I had taken along with my divorce.
My only choice was to look for a second job; however, this would mean that I would be outside of the house for long hours.
I had hard time leaving my children with family or child care for that many hours.
Looking at my limited options, I begun to think what I could do that would allow me to stay home and make some money. Most offers for business opportunity would require money that I did not have.
One evening I took my children and went to the electronic store and purchased a computer. The next day I was in business. I began to start my own business by doing taxes from my home. I gave my nine year old son and four year old daughter a brief case so we could take the flyers I had made on my inkjet printer and took them to every store and condo in the area and distributed them.
This is how I started to gain my experience.

Election Debates

Here is a question,

Last night during the debates they were asked what would be their tax policy.
McCain noted that Obama will increase on people making over $250,000. He further noted this will hit small business owners.

Why should we get a tax increase while our money is going to bail big business and their big vacations.

What do you think, is it our duty to pay more taxes so that large company's CEO and upper management, for no reason at all, take our tax dollars and go to luxury vacations?

Here is where I like to go if government bails me out.

 

Mortgage and Banking

We are being told that it is getting harder to get financing, are you more likely to trust to invest in a small business?<< MORE >>

You are being Taken

 Wakeup America & Join hands to have our voice heard

Where do you think my tax dollars are going?
When you look back and see how United State of America was started, you can see it begun with many independent people that came to America in hopes of better life. They wanted independence from elite group of people that thought they knew more. Kings and Queens and few of their elite friends felt that they were more educated than the people and should make crucial decisions that effected their people.

They had elite schools that only people that they choose could attend, and if they choose you to join them, you had to think like they did.


It was very profound when I was listening to O’Riely show last week. O'Riely had a liberal guest that was talking about Obama and Palin. She noted that Palin was not qualified to be Vice President. She noted that “Look at what college she attended.”; Think to yourself, this is how elite think.

Except for one thing, we work hard and pay good portion of our income in taxes, as we run those small businesses. We are taxed so high that it is hard to save for our children’s colleges. As middle class we cannot send our children to top 50 schools. Because you work and pay taxes you are excluded from any assistance. They have a board that will decide who gets accepted and who does not. In most cases, it is not middle class. Even though if you go back in history, it was not the middle class and small business owner that abused the black and caused guilt that is put on us. But we pay for it.

We have a small group of people that think like the old England did and are taking us back hundreds of years. They tax you because they think they are more educated and can make decisions on how to spend that money better then you do.

They do not want us to be equal. They are trying to suppress us to stay at the level they choose. If you trace, there is only small group of people that are reaching the top. They move around that top and keep the circle closed. They use our money to buy power in Washington.

How you ask; well first by taxing us to death. Then they have their talking heads telling you that only way your money will grow is to invest it in few large corporations. Think again, they choose to tell you what to buy.

Do you realize you are financing their operation and taking all the risk? Well if that is not enough, then you pay the taxes to pay for their guilt?

When that corporation goes under, elites on the tops are not the losers, you are. You will invest 5 – 30 thousands which is big portion of your savings and you lose all. They walk away with millions. Not only you are taking all the risks, they use that money to crush the competition, which is you. You may say, I am buying stock in Grocery sector and I am in pest control. Your neighbor is in Grocery business and buying stock in Pest Control. You are contributing to his competition and he is to yours.


As they say Wakeup America! We are being taken.


So what do you do, join each other and create a group. Large group that has a voice, join together and force your opinion.

We can make a difference, you will see.
