Immigration is a prime example. Why are we importing 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year along with 640,000 guest workers a year while we have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. Wages are declining because we have a surplus of labor. Business privatizes the profits and socializes the costs.
[We have opportunity to participate in America business as a basis of structure for creating, developing and offering products/services, of various types/kinds. It is up to the public whether or not the products/ services, are good, worthy of obtaining and using]
This is true, and if you can find a niche market you may be successful. However, large businesses with all the dough, like lifetime politicians with their lobbyist money, have the distinct advantage in the marketplace.
Think of how WalMart has affected local economies. They conspire with local politicians to gain property tax advantages and other perks and then drive small businesses out of the market.
Look at the complexion of America. Regional differences are fading due to the invasion of corporate retailers, restaurants, etc.
Your freedoms as a small business person are eroding every day; look at all the government rules and regulations. Big business and big government are colluding to pick the American tax payer’s pocket book. I’m a great believer in capitalism, but we don’t have that any more. Big business takes a bet and wins whether their decisions are good or not - look at Wall Street. Traders make bad bets and never give their bonuses back. The capitalist puts up capital, risks it, if they market likes what they do, they win, but that’s not the system we have now, unfortunately.
That’s pretty good satire.
