And then think that somehow their business will become Wal-Mart, which has actually priced likely them and most other small businesses in their area out of competing.

The businesses that are most successful in my area that have lasted over the last 5 years are intelligent, humble, and treat their employees very well.

• They’ve opened in places that make great sense for them location wise
• They only participate in marketing, events, etc when it provides a real benefit
• The owners spend real time and energy at the business and events, participating in the community
• The employees are paid well, provided for (I mean benefits, not just pats on the back), and have opportunities for advancement as the business grows

These businesses deserve a tax deduction to me.

The type of people with shit shill companies to put their debt on or because they post a lot on social media about “hard knocks university” and their instagram is full of shit they bought on a business loan but never about what their business does and the work they do deserve to fail;

These people deserve the “limited” in “limited liability company” to come full circle. Unfortunately the second group is a significant amount of people that will vote for trump because they consider themselves “entrepreneurs”
