I saw this posted in the Wall Street Journal. These days I’m not sure who to believe.
A survey earlier this month of 1,062 business owners with 100 or fewer employees conducted by payroll administrator SurePayroll found that 64% of businesses planning to vote for either Sen. McCain or Democrat Barack Obama are leaning toward Sen. McCain, while the remaining 36% plan to vote for Sen. Obama.
A big reason many are voting for McCain, the survey found, is that respondents feel the Republican party has more favorable policies and solutions for small businesses than the Democrats.

Survey: Who is the more small business friendly candidate?
Raising Taxes on “Top 5%” Would Punish Small Employers and Ordinary American Workers
What do you think about this? I mean there is such a difference beteween the Republicans and the Democrats does anyone really know what is right? What I think they should do is “test” a state like California and tax the highest income earners, however that would not be Constitutional, I don’t think. The problem with this all or nothing tax on the rich is that it is just that all or nothing, and we don’t live in an all or nothing world.
The problem I (Jim Peake) see with the economy is that there is no integrity. The probem with the 2 major candidates is that the same old boy network is running both campaigns. The problem I see is we are about to re-elect another Democrat or a Republican and WE ARE EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT? Isn’t it time the small businesses banded together and threw some weight around?
Despite the slowing economy, Senator Barack Obama admits that he will raise taxes if elected President. But, he assures us, only on the top 5% of income earners in America.
At first glance, many ordinary Americans struggling to make ends meet and put food on their tables might set aside their traditional opposition to higher taxes, and welcome tax increases for those who can presumably afford it. This is especially true during an economic slowdown, and as news continues to arrive regarding irresponsible corporate executives driving companies such as Lehman Brothers or Bear Stearns into the ground.

Obama?s Tax Plan Punishes Small Business and The American Worker?
In this interview with Dr. Ivan Misner worlds #1 networker. Have you ever heard of BNI? (Business Networking International). BNI is the Facebook and MySpace of Business networking, as a matter of fact they have over 5,000 business networking meetings per week
I knew that once I landed the interview with the world’s #1 networker Dr. Ivan Misner I felt that he might be able to share some real tidbits for success and he does not disappoint. He is a passionate man about networking and about helping people. We covered a lot of ground in this interview including Dr. Misners’ new book The 29% Solution which can also be found at 29percentsolution.com. He will teach you a 52 week networking strategy in the book.
What I really enjoyed about meeting Ivan is his authenticity and his willingness to share and not hold anything back. He felt like a long lost friend sharing intimate details and keys to success including his meetings with Sir. Richard Branson and he shares the tips that Branson taught him. He goes into detail on how Branson treats everyone with respect no matter their background or income. Misner also talks about his experience in visiting Branson’s Space Port in the Mohave.
Most full time college professors who teach business have never been in business, unlike professors of medicine who are actual doctors who teach medicine, same is true for law professors who are real lawyers, but not so for business professors. This information is coming from a “professor,†Dr. Misner. The point here is that networking is not taught in schools but it is taught by Misner and BNI.
“Success is the uncommon application and commitment of common knowledge,†says Misner. We all know what it takes to be successful, passion, vision, hard work, luck etc, but we have to apply the uncommon application in order to be a success.
