The Private sector
I live in upstate New York. I am over sixty and still running a small business. The Federal, State, County, Town and Village governments have choaked off the private sector and small business where I live. I see no chance of growth. Small business is (was) the lifeblood of the American economy. I fear for my children and grandchildren. We need to take drastic action. We need new intelligent blood representing us in our governments.
