Yes! I wonder how much money has been stolen and used for nefarious purposes, such as hiring ACORN and funding MoveOn.org to organize campaigns to fight for government healthcare?

Self employed here as well. We have employed 10-15 people at any given time for over 25 years. We are hanging on by the skin of our teeth. If we go, so do the jobs of our employees. So sad....

I'm sorry about what you're dealing with - it's so hard out there. Where I live small retailers are putting flyer's in with your purchase. They say:

"Save your local economy - three stores at a time. Think about which three independently owned business you'd miss most if they were gone. Stop in and say hello. Pick up a little something that will make someone smile. Your contribution is what keeps those businesses around. If just half the employed US population spent $50 each month in an independently owned business, their purchases would generate more than 42.6 billion...

The flyer goes on to ask all of us to pick out three stores and spend $50 a month between them.
