KEEPING YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER

It’s not bad to profit nor is bad to make a big profit, the problem arises when the average person has to struggle just to make ends meat! I realize that businesses just don’t exist to be generous to the point of bankruptcy. Businesses have to make a profit, after all it takes time, money & talent to get a business to start and to keep it afloat. Some money needs to be made to pay bills, and some to grow. Plus why would anybody start a business if there was no reward!
Now with that stated, The average person gets up goes to work each day and between getting ready and the commute this takes about 10 hours every day. Add 9 hours of going to bed, falling asleep, and getting up after hitting the snooze button an average of twice. With a total of 19 hours required of you day in and day out that leaves only 5 hours to yourself, most of which requires errands.
Often times people find themselves working a job they hate and living for the weekends. When the weekend finally comes you end doing the tasks you put off from the week, then with your friends and family all vying for your time you have little time to relax. After all the weekend goes by to fast and just aren’t ready for the grind again come Monday.
Now you just can’t quit, you have bills to pay and your in debt. You’ve been trying to save for this and that plus you would like to retire someday! What can you do?
I am a conservative and I believe that the government is a large part of the problem when it comes to taxes. I have been active in politics and have been appointed to a government position, but friends government is not the answer!
The problem is in business...
