As a small business owner, I can identify with all of the above — less pay, more hours, using own money to keep business afloat.
Same here. Built and sold two companies, doing another startup right now. Obama doesn’t have a clue how free enterprise works.
My business imploded when Dear Reader took office. 2009, 2010, and 2011 were decreasing income, withe total business receipts in 2011 being less than $1000. Yet I am called by Dems as one of the greedy one percenters, not hiring anyone out of pure greed, and sitting on a pile of money like Scrooge McDuck. In 2011 I got out of Minnesota and took a job on the Houston Ship Channel. Small business owners are the kulaks to this Regime.
