What if small business failures were very small instead of the five to one we now know they are? What if all small businesses paid back their small business loans? What if the local, county and state governments actually made it easier for small businesses instead of purporting that they were? What if the Federal Government was not over run with revolving door lobbyists and lawyers helping larger businesses crush the little guy? What if franchised companies were allowed to expand without over regulation by the FTC? What if the lawyers would back off so the small businessman could get a return on his or her investment? What if the tax laws on small businesses were simpler and did not require 50 pages of attachments and schedules? What if we were to stop the insanity of telling small businesses how much we love them in a down economy and then stabbing them in the back and holding them out to dry when the economy is screaming along? What if large businesses had to compete with out the help of the government enforcing laws to stop the little guys forward progression? What if the small business could employ 85% of the population rather than 75%. What if we gave the small businesses in this nation a break? What if we told them the truth? What if we had a rules which helped them? What if we could increase the small business owners in this nation from 10% of the population to 15%? What if we really cared about the small businesses rather than listen to podium pushers full of BS and Hokum give them lip service and then go back to Washington and institute more laws to hurt them? What if. . .? Well, then our economic engine would roar again and our nation would be exactly what it was intended to be. Think on it.
