Your first point here, That is called "an election year". Every time we have an election year, we have economic issues. (i.e. about every 4 years lol)

For your second one, a LOT of people drive cars....So mechanics will always be necessary and needed. If you own your own shop, then you should be golden no matter WHAT the economy is doing. Yes, it'll hurt a little, but it will survive.

You said before that you are in an industry which relies on the economy. Pfff...I disagree.

I own and operate a martial arts school. This is considered a "luxury". No-one feels they really "need" to train in martial arts, but they sure as hell "need" a car. See what I'm saying? And I haven't shut my doors yet. Granted, I only have like 12 students currently, but I'm not closed yet. I haven't noticed ANY difference in the amount of calls per month by interested parties since now and before Obomber went into office. In fact, I think it was better BEFORE he got shoved in there. At that time, I was located in Ridge Manor, and was charging $79 per month. I had 30 students then. I have since lowered my prices to just $45 per month, and you would be surprised at how often I hear "I can't afford that right now". REALLY? I'm the lowest priced in Tampa except for non-profit organizations like the YMCA or the county programs. So, my business is reliant on the economy being good...With a good economy, my business thrives. In a poor economy, it tanks or could even go under.

Don't try to make us feel sorry for you when you're employed or own your own business making 70,000 per year. It simply won't work.


The canadian health care system failed as a communal system. Ours is bound for failure as well. Theirs was put together well...Ours is not. Period.
