tyler — This is a story we reported Wednesday....

Well, it was on your own that this country was founded. No one escorted the settlers out west.

With every new venture there is risk. There is a good chance with a business you can flame out.

Most small businesses fail. But, for those who do succeed, there is usually great reward. And I see nothing wrong with that.

Before I ever got into a management position, I, like may saw some companies to have a cash tree in the back yard.

Just get more and make everyone happy.

Then, when I really learned more about the entire process, I gained a better respect for those men and women meeting a payroll, lying in bed at 3 am wondering how they are going to pull off this pay period.

The president speaks if the free markets not ever working. America was built on that idea.

Most Americans don't want an activist government. That's the reason business people are sitting on their capital right now and not spending.

They don't know what the government wants to do to them next.

With that fear, that is what is hurting the middle class which benefits from start-up business and expansion.

The president may have a great education. But, this shows very little real-life and business experience.

What works in an ivy league classroom doesn't always transfer to the real world.

That's my point of view, what's yours?
