From a small business owner

News for President Obama

I’ve got news for President Obama. I borrowed and saved the start up money, I repaid the loans, I hired employees and paid them every week for the job. I never coerced them into staying at my company.

I bought and paid for any equipment. I paid my bills including all taxes promptly. I’m the one who stayed up nights during lean times to keep the business afloat. I’m the one who didn’t take pay checks until after all others were paid, often for extended periods of time. I’m the one who had to compete successfully in the market place.

I did that, Mr. Obama. No one helped me.

Frankly, you saying otherwise shows me the depth of your disrespect for all small business owners. It angers me beyond words. You are a pompous socialist who has no love of the American work ethic. I pray every day that we are done with you come Nov.
