Why should you care about small businesses?

I have a sense that many people who have not paused to think about the differences between small and large businesses would naturally lump their feelings for all businesses into one big pot. This would be fine if the sentiment was positive. I hear a lot of negativity about corporations and what they are doing to America.

The question is why care at all?

Small business makes up a driving part of the National economy. Employing over half of all workers in the U.S. small business's still struggle to make it and to grow. The relationship with small business and the average person is good. It is not the same as big business. Big business's can fend for themselves and have resources that small businesses just don't have.

By fostering small business to grow, new jobs are created and new tax bases bring wealth into an area. With that wealth comes increased standard of living and more happiness.

You should go out and hug your small business today!

If you are a business owner that has a story to tell about doing business in Maryland - good or bad - please share it. I would love to post your story and add it to the what I hope will be an instructional list for our state representatives. - joro
