[QUOTE=BRENT in 10-uh-C;445907] Until you have owned a small business you just don't know what you must go through.
And in today's business environment, where every Larry Parker (you guys in SoCal will know who I mean) out there wants to sue the bejeebers out of everybody, and people don't want to pay for anything they want it for nothing, and nobody wants to be responsible for themselves it's always somebody else's fault...well you have to ask yourself 'just who in their right mind would open a business or try to mfg. ANYthing in this country today???' 
I don't like seeing things built overseas but at the same time I can sure understand WHY it has become this way.
On a similar note, Henry Ford commenting on Wall Street (which he despised) and the great 1929 Crash and so many people losing so much....... "They wanted something for nothing. They didn't want to work."
