(4,565 posts)Having owned a business for 36 years, I came to understand the significance of remaining neutral during election times. As much as I wanted to put up signs and banners, I never did. With the internet age upon us, it is sometimes difficult to attract new customers, keep the old ones, and not piss too many of them off. I am astounded by how many businesses choose to put up political banners and signs on their business property. No surprise, but if I see Republican signs in front of a business, I will choose NOT to deal with them, given any reasonable alternative.
So to all of you staunch business owners who choose to publicize your political beliefs, you get an "F" in designing your business plan and you no doubt will reap what you sow. In the long run, you may feel that you won the battle ( a joke in itself) but you will lose the war.
