Expecting the economy to get better? If we re-elect a Dermocrat or a Republican don ‘t expect a different result. At this point in time it is turning into madness with the big money corruption these guys buy into. Time to get another party in here to balance things out. Funny how it is the independants that are supposed to swing the election but the media and the debate committiee won’t let Nader or Barr near the door. We aren’t in enough pain yet. But it is coming.
Raymond Keating, chief economist for the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council argues that the presidential candidates’ proposals for changing employer regulations could potentially add a huge financial burden to small businesses – even more than the tax plans everyone’s arguing about. His analysis suggests that Sen. Obama’s regulatory proposals would be far more financially burdensome to businesses than Sen. McCain’s “sketchier†outline of what regulations he would push for.
Sen. Obama, for instance, supports expanding the Family and Medical Leave Act to apply to all businesses with 25 or more employees, compared to the businesses with 50 or more employees that must adhere to it now. What’s more, Sen. Obama supports changing the labor rules to make it easier for labor unions to organize, and tying minimum wage increases to inflation. “These key measures from Obama would be anything but positive for small businesses, and therefore, the economy,†Mr. Keating writes.

Obama and McCain Huge financial small businesses meltdown
According to Lloyd Chapman, President of the American Small Business League he feels that John McCain will be detremental to American Small Businesses. I can tell you that during the primary I asked to interview him and they felt that I was better off speaking with their campaign finance chairman. I declined the interview which might have been short sighted, however judging by McCain’s ACTIONS and not his words he has no intent to help small businesses. If he was soooooo busy during the primary’s umteen monts of campaigning and he couldn’t speak with My Success Gateway for 10 minutes he does not deserve the White House. Obama, Clinton, Romney, Guiliani all declined as well.
Hold on to your hats folks we are going to get some change and what we won’t see change is the greed, back stabbing, lack of leadership and integrity. Both parties and the public (we keep reelecting the same louses) have demonstrated that we need more of the same sewer antics as we have asked for.

McCain Administration Will Kill Small Business Programs and Maybe SBA
In reading this freelancers post I had to share it with the My Success Gateway community. It really caught my eye since many entrepreneurs have started out with freelancing jobs before forging into small businesses.Â
A happy worker is a productive worker, and it’s hard to find a happier lot than freelancers. Whether they’re entrepreneurs, Web workers or something in between, freelancers enjoy a better lifestyle than their cube-dwelling brethren.

101 Reasons Why Freelancers do it Better
I think I heard Zig Ziglar say that the sales profession is full time job security if you are good and you are with the right company no matter which end of the economy you are on. If you are making your numbers and your company can’t do it with out you you are safe, and if your’re not safe, you’ll easily be employed somewhere else.
Mastering the skill of sales is transferrable as they say in the Forbes article, but having a network to draw from is probably just as important. I’ve been surprised to learn how small the world is, people know other people so easily these days.Salespeople are often the first to get whacked when the economy goes south.
But here’s some good news for busted Wall Streeters–and any other commission chasers laid low by the latest economic crisis: Salesmanship is a transferable skill.
If you can sell stocks, bonds and financial derivatives, you can sell real estate, technology, autos and tooth brushes. That’s because the fundamental tools are the same.
Salespeople know how to frame a discussion. They know how to ask the right questions and, with a little discipline, shut up and listen to the answers. They can relate to people. And they have the courage to ask for business and try new things.
So what happens if–and when–you lose your job? First, you go have a martini and a big steak dinner. Then you look for a growing market to attack.

For Entrepreneurs: How To Sell In Tough Economic Times
In this article in the Colorado Independant Jeff Bridges discusses the possibility of deregulation in the healthcare space. It seems as if McCain really does not know what to do in these cases. His intentions are good but his execution is off.
I spent a few months in the workers compensation industry and I can tell you a fact. There is no incentive for insurers, companies, government, state agencies to lower the cost of workers compensation claims, cost of health care or disability claims. The system is set up to have people abuse the system and charge outrageous rates. The actual cost of actual healthcare is very small to the overall expenditure and final bill. So if the government gets involved in state run healthcare expect a mess. They have clearly demonstrated that they can’t manage a war, Wall St or regulation on mortgages. Expect more of the same.
Barack Obama’s campaign talked up a new TV spot about health care today, and it’s a good one. The ad quotes a new article where John McCain says he’d like to deregulate health care “as we have done over the last decade with banking.†Huh?! I assume the magazine had already gone to print when the banking industry came crashing down around us, but this quote could kill McCain — and numerous Americans, too, should he ever get his way.
