    Cory: 

    Extremely well said!  We also own a small business and when Mr. O takes us down he will take several families with us.  He definitely is intent upon "change" - any "change" that we may have left after we pay bills, employees and the exisiting government should be his.  He wants to share the wealth, not share the work.  He is taking entitlement to a new level.

    Thanks for taking the time to articulate our plight so well.

    read your letter  congratulationns.  i am a registered democrat and would not vote for him  he cannot be trusted just like when castro got into office and promised change in cuba. cubans started boarding boats and rafts and coming here  because of poverty and castros lies and obama is going to ruin this country.

    I lost my first business in 1979 because I was greedy and it took me almost 10 years to dig myself out of that hole. 

    I am 55 and now own two small businesses.  I am planning on selling one because I can't find anyone to work it no matter what I pay them that doesn't require me or my wife to follow up and fix what they don't feel like doing.  My customers were spoiled by my wife and I.  Someone could earn $100-125K a year with this turn key business all by themselves if they had any initiative but no one wants to work for anything anymore.  I can't believe it. 

    I will keep one and semi-retire.

     I whole heartily agree with Cory.  We are in this mess because no one wants to apply themselves for success.  They want to win the lottery and our elected officials who hit the lottery with their positions feel the need to give what they did not earn away.

Letter from a small business owner
Doug Ross @ Journal — ... the greatest and most self-reliant culture on earth, to just another country of whiners and wimps, who sit around looking to the government to solve their problems. Like all of western Europe. All countries on the decline. All countries that, because of liberal socialistic mentalities, have a little less to offer mankind every year. God help us... Cory Miller just a ordinary, extraordinary American, the way a lot of Americans used to be. P.S. Yes, Mr. Obama, I am a real American... http://www.cmillerdrilling.com Labels: ...

THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS — VIA SONDRAK THE PLUMBER: EXCERPT: ... Mr. Obama, I'm the guy you intend to raise taxes on. I'm the guy who has spent 25 years toiling and sweating, fretting and fighting, stressing and risking, to build a business and get ahead. I'm the guy who has been on the very edge of bankruptcy more than a dozen times over the last 25 years, and all the while creating more and more jobs for East Texans who didn't want to take a risk, and would not demand from themselves what I have demanded from myself. I'm the ...
