she totally blows her whole point.

Once again, a moron that did NOT listen to the whole speech or context.

I am a small business person, and I DID get help from mentors, the infrastructure, a decent tax code in my state, non-usurious interest rates, the fact that a pig farm was not allowed to open next door to my business, and from SCORE, and SBA.

geez. I'm so sick of people like that who fly off the handle and claim that no one helped them. Where did she get her first investment? Did a parent not help her? Or did her spouse's income not help? he wasn't only talking about the Govt, but they just froth over these sound bites.
