    Small companies don't stand much of a chance.There is just to much B/S to try and stay in business.My license came up for renwel in 2011. ( I started the bus. in 94).They added that I had to go to school for lead and asbestos removal to get a renewel,there isn't much of either in remodeling homes built after 91 and realy not much in new construction. I just decided that rather than contend with more of the crap (taxs and insurances) it was easier to just close. I still do small jobs for people that I have worked for before, but nothing that requires a crew.

    Another thought, with all the pressing issues facing the country which could well lead to our demise are there any estimates on what voter turnout will be in November????
    I thought you were one of those who advocated throwing the incumbant out each election cycle until they get the point?

    As for turnout, that's a tough one. Will the enthusiasm level be as high? Will the racists on both sides, (those who vote FOR based on color are just as racist as those who vote against for the same reason) be motivated? Will the squishes be demoralized or hopeful that another change will increase their hope? Too many disperate motives to draw a clear view this early.

    Besides, the Congressional elections may be our best hope no matter which of the two it is. One to be blocked at every turn because he's too committed to his collectivist ideology, the other because he'll go with the flow. (Although, the Supreme Court Justices are too big a factor to risk a bad choice.)

    You Charlie are representative of what could be referred to as the "New Silent Majority".............within the ranks of the business entrepreneurs anyway. Too many of our citizens have no idea how regular jobs are REALLY created.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
