If that's the case, then where do I sign up to get my "substantial benefits and opportunities?" I've been consulting off and on for more than ten years. I've yet to receive any "substantial tax benefits and opportunities."
Let's be clear about this - no one is saying that there aren't "set-asides" out there for a fair amount of business.
I've got a major problem with that. I would much rather earn someone's business than to deal with "set-aside" business. But the larger problem is the use of the "broad brush" to lump me and the other honest and upstanding businesspeople in with those who break their collective necks to take advantage of the set-asides.
Where do you get that from the article?
