I guess its more directed toward some of the people in like situations that I have been exposed to.

Frankly, few here got upset when it was Wal Mart or some other big box store who put the small businessperson out of business.

Some here have to recognize that the threat to small business comes not only from taxation and big government, but big corporations as well.

And the dangerous thing is that now big business feels compelled to cooperate with big government.

Face it, most of you have been looking only at one side of the equation for way too long.

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm in the online retail biz and I know first hand what it is like to compete with the big boys. The bottom line is that you can't.

I do what is necessary to make a living with products that have enough margin and volume for me to handle and still make enough money.

Is it easy, no, but if you want to work on your own you create a workable model.

Business is a cut throat, survival of the fittest enterprise. Maybe it's not fair, but it's what capitalism is.
