Are these small business the reason for the catastrophe we are in?Why should they get punished?If you're used to dealing with vendors and contractors you know that everyone pays everyone late and sometimes loans are the only thing that keeps them a float until some checks come in.These small contractors and business's are the ones that buy gas for equipment that pad's 8's pockets and do the grunt work on most big projects as sub's that keep costs down and your jobs moving.They arent scamming the government, they are creating jobs for the little guy.I can't believe a huge bank a 1000 miles away fails while the CEO gets a severance check of more than everyone in this thread makes in a decade and your automatic response is fuck those small business's like they were the problem.What did the way they run their business and the way they pay their bills have to do with the problem we have today?Lets punish the people who actually made the mistake and protect the people havent done one thing wrong that employ a lot of your neighbors
See You In Toledo
