Cantor: Today We Celebrate Those Who ‘Earned Their Own Success’

[SoapBox]

15. As a SMALL business owner...

we've never gotten shit for "help".

The help that we need, is protections from the Banksters and CC companies. Those fees! We actually have no problem with a business license or property taxes. Those big, bad regulations from the Feds? Hell, what bad regulations?!? Oh, I guess the Bullies mean the rules that try to prevent employees from losing a hand in a cutting machine! Gee...ain't those some horrible rules!

We've closed two locations, primarily because of the massive rent increases from the landlords. Would they work with us? Hell NO! At least we can laugh that one sat empty over a year and the other is STILL empty after about 1.75 years! FU to both of those bastards.

EVERYTHING has gone up in cost...power, phones, supplies and stock we need to produce, CC processing fees, bank fees...BUT what hasn't really changed are the payroll tax type stuff. Actually Jerry Brown here in CA just got a Workers Comp change through that we are hopeful will lower our premiums...thank you Jerry!

We just wish, that when the SS tax for the employees was reduced, that they would have done the same for the employers...that would have given us, the owners, a break.

Pinhead Cantor? STFU! You've not done SHIT for us!

p.s...all that small business crap. The Bully and Bagger Party hasn't a clue. If you are a business that clears $250,000/year OR has 50, 60, 70 employees, you are NOT a "small" business. Period. Small business is the husband and wife owning and working a sandwich shop...or the husband and wife in our area that, with a couple of employees have a pizza parlor. We have 4 employees...we are damned small.

GOPathetics and Baggers...you don't know what the hell you are spewing about...it's all lies.
