I am in the process of starting my own business now. Come on, the similarities are obvious...it’s just that the government takes advantage of people’s willingness to get a freebee whereas businesses have to be more bottom line, which makes my point about Romney’s business experience being great for government.

A business is generally a for-profit operation. The government is not. A business operates under the expectations and desires of the owner(s), and the government does not. A government has firmly entrenched career employees that do not change with an administration. The government is not a cohesive grouping of folks all aiming for the same goal. The list goes on. A business does not operate like a government does.

I can't argue with the premise that Romney is a very successful businessman. I disagree, however, that this positive feature of his necessarily qualifies him to be President of the United States.

My very best wishes to you in your business venture. There is nothing quite as satisfying and enjoyable as being your own boss. Now go out there and create a bunch of jobs!
