Progress

Today I officially joined the ranks of small business owners. Over the last few days I've obtained federal, state, and municipal licenses or tax numbers. I've bought state mandated insurance. I've hired an acountant to deal with the labyrinth of tax laws, and gotten to know the bank branch manager on a first name basis. All this to get past the government imposed obstacles to starting a business. It's as if they don't want people to get ahead.
