Giving Up?
I haven’t posted anything for several days, partly because I had to spend a good bit of time assembling records and preparing income tax returns. It was also end-of-month and end-of-quarter time, meaning assembling and compiling more records for tax reporting.
My plans for posting on my blog have gone by the wayside. With our country rapidly slipping down the slippery slope towards full socialism, I’m thinking of closing my business. Prior to the last election, the government—at all levels; federal, state and local—already were too intrusive into everyone’s personal and business lives. I had changed the focus of my blog from running a home-based business to pointing out our federal government’s stupid actions, and the dangers of its actions. I’ve now realized that my opinions aren’t going to help anything.
My income in 2008 was down 25% below 2007’s. The first quarter of 2009 is down at least 30% below the first quarter of 2008. Our new socialist government has decided to run businesses because these people with no business experience know more than the management of businesses. And these same socialists are going to pay mortgages for people who can’t pay them and will soon be selling cars, etc., as well as taking care of all of our needs. Why should I struggle running a business?
I may or may not post more in the future.
