Getting America Back to Work
Let’s face it: Wall Street may be doing well, but Main Street isn’t. Americans have always been about Main Street. Though nobody in the government will admit it, they’d rather you work for a big corporation than start your own business. It means the nation becomes too reliant on big government and big business. When they fail, everybody loses.
I am all about smaller government. I am also a believer in small businesses. If your small business fails, you will be the only loser. If you govern yourself and you fail, you are the only loser. But if you work for a multinational business or a multinational government and it fails, everybody fails.
I will give more details tonight on my podcast. You can hear it live at 11:00PM Eastern/8:00 Pacific or any time after the show ends in the archives.

Maybe Main Street should move to Wall Street.
Easier said than done. The rent on Wall Street is too damned high!
This is more than depressing as it hits home. For over 10 years I ran a small successful retail store -and associated website-.
30% taxes off the top -I never hit that 500,000+ gross mark where a business can begin taking advantage of those tax breaks.
There has not been grants or loans available for women, minorities, initiative for creating jobs in small towns, etc since Reagan killed them all.
Not that I’m bitter.
Businesses shouldn’t be taxed until they are proven to be profitable over a course of time. (At least three years out of five). It;s the criteria the IRS uses on writers before writers can deduct expenses.
Bravo!
Smart site you have here. And good ideas!
You make a great point that businesses are subject to fail just as much as a big government. What gets me is that people can still believe we need the businesses to run things. At the end of the day, we are all Americans and still have alot of potential.
But big is bad on so many levels.
Main Street is really hurting. I see it every day in the small business I work for.
Big government caters to big business. Small government caters to small business. Wall Street sees the money Main Street doesn’t.
