Sounds like we have a little common ground. The religious right drives me nuts, (I live less than 2 miles from Regent University and Pat Robertson.), and single issue/party line voters I tend to view as the most "sheeple-ish" among us. I've never run a small business, but I have friends/family that do, or have at some point.
The thing I've noticed is the ones that do, seem to do quite well. My cousin owns a couple apartment buildings and runs a disaster recovery business in the worst part (economically) of Ohio and seems to do very well. T

Robertson that close would make me nervous. The businesses that fail aren't as visible and remembered as those that succeed. A lot of businesses fail because of lack of capital. Immigrants seem to do well because they minimize costs and spread the risk out over their extended family. Sadly, a growth business here in SoCal is drug rehabilitation services.
