    Yeah, American manufacturing gets no love from our gov.

    I started my biz in 1983 and it's geared towards the manufacturing industry.

    I've done pretty well without gov help.

    I've jumped through hoops and complied with government contracts only to have them pulled from me in literally 5 minutes.

    Outsourcing and Obama's health plan is going to put my wife & I out of business.

    It's {censored}ing amazing how, Democrat & Republican, can mismanage and leave us with the bill while they drift off to greener pastures.

    I have to do my job and perform a service every day and sometimes work harder to chase customers to get paid. Everything I do in my biz is totally self made. I don't get any help from the government except try to make it through their constant speed bumps.

    I've done pretty well for myself by depending only on myself, my wife and my customers. I don't need any more gov bull{censored}.

    BTW, a small sidebar, corporations are protected and can disolve and reform without paying previous bills. My wife is owed $8K from some Australian company that's gone belly up.....but it's more than $8K, there's the supplies that my wife paid for that is still in the possession of an out of business Austrailian company. Our loss.

     

    Ah damn, as an Aussie it sucks to hear that

     

    I hate the idea of outsourcing stuff to cheaper countries. My company is doing just that now, IT development work to a mini sweat shop somewhere in asia. I quit recently, and they are talking about replacing me with a number of outsourced people overseas.

     

    God help us.

    It's not really lame - it's realistic. If she knew that she ultimately wouldn't be happy, she made the right decision. You may not like it, but it's probably better than ending up with a failed marriage and a couple of kids 5-7 years later....



    I guess so. Its kinda old fashioned in the way that people used to always marry for money and property, not love.

    But it is like saying, I'd rather marry a rich guy that I can tolerate than a middle class guy that I love.

    I know which I would pick, and i dont even believe in Marriage.

    In 2008, I took a 40% dip in income.

    In 2009, I took a $19K net hit from the previous year.

    Three years ago, one of my customers paid me a little over $41K. Last year, I grossed $453.00 from them.

    This economy sucks.

    BTW, thank you for all the outsourcing. American manufacturing is being killed off.

    Three of my customers don't exist anymore.

    Obama, you're {censored}ing killing me.



    How is it Obamas fault? The US was already in recession when he was elected right?

    In my experience, the people earning the big dollars here have positions that are closely tied in to the business's revenue, sales is one thing, but product development is another, of financial controllers and of course management.

     

    There are software engineers and developers and the like earning 150k easily too. I would say a lot of what they are earning now has little to nothing to do with what degree they earned when they were 19 or 20 years old.

     

    Food for thought.
