I wrote a letter to Michael Moore awhile back about doing a film on small business. Follow us around and see what we go through. Watch us compete in the free enterprise system and when we have a slow day see how it tears us apart. See when we disappoint a customer how it hurts us not because of the money they won't spend at our business but rather that we let them down. See how on a hot summer day we have to call a $65.00 an hour person to fix our air conditioner while we try to pay our other bills. It is part of capitalism and I accept it and I never have thrown in the towel. If you own a business you keep persevering. The biggest frustration is the lack of respect you get from the government. You are their answer for job creation which is a compassionate part of capitalism. You are the government's answer for so much more. Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, personal property taxes, city taxes, school taxes, Friend of the Court payments and garnishment. There is a saying at my gym when we are lifting weights to man up and I will accept that in the weight room and free enterprise. I just want our government to smarten up when they make decisions about business. Moore or less this country needs us.
