if the market stays rocky, you have a choice, short it or go defensive in your positions. i laugh my ass off at all the people crying about this or that instead of looking within to make their situations better.

and p.s. if your a small business owner w/< 25 employees you will get a tax credit of up to 50% by next year on your medical costs. now that's some fucking change my business can believe in.

Business is business and of course no owner wants to lay people off but we do to keep
a job for some when times get tough.

When an owner is forced to lay off due to questionable government policy
that is another story and speaking up about that is necessary,
that is certainly not proudly announcing but do you see it as such because
you favor Obama?

If a business owner can't afford health insurance at all for their employees
50% is no help at all.

If you have to let some go to just afford it that is no help to the business owner
nor the employee not to mention the government who is feeding another unemployed person.

If you have to put workers on part time to avoid the expense that is no help to the employee
his paycheck was just cut in half, something most people these days can not survive.
So they will seek another part time job. No health plan forthcoming.

If you do not hire and use the services of other businesses instead that does not help
those unemployed looking for work. They have no job, no health plan
and are getting fed by the government.

And finally the tactics some business owners will be doing will be to avoid bankruptcy
because indeed policies made are not bringing the economy back at any rate worth noticing,
and lots of companies are in serious trouble and can not survive another hit.

my advice to you sir/madam is to hire better sales people or change your business model. if your business is that impacted by federal gvt, you got's problems.

i will go a step further, in 2006, the state of texas changed it's franchise tax codes and basically tripled my company's tax obligation, thanks rick perry for signing that into law! did i sit around and post on pearl jam message boards about big bad rick perry and the awful government? fk no, sell more, manage expenses better and voila, we came out on the other side. did we take a hit? yes, but complaining and making excuses for my company was not an alternative for me.

i wish you and your company well, i really do. american right now is loaded w/opportunity...

Business owners can always improve their business.
Ours relies heavily on the economy as many do.

Our strategy has been to lower overhead fixed costs,
invest in new technology and network to increase sales.
Our business does not require sales people as our customer base
is solid and we rely on brokers and other printing companies for overflow work
and services they can not do for themselves.

Saying the economy is bad is an understatement. We watched many printing companies close
in our 20 years mostly based on just that, the poor economy.
Taxes are just one aspect that can hit a company when they are down.

This healthcare policy of Obamas is also hitting companies
and we see the effects that will have on growth and employment.

Hey thanks I wish your company much luck as well. As hard as it has been
building your own owning your own is the way to go....
being humbled, thanking your lucky stars and appreciating what we have
is in order.
