SMALL BUSINESSES ARE AN EXPRESSION OF FREEDOM

 SMALL BUSINESSES ARE AN EXPRESSION OF FREEDOM

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

 

Many people are puzzled why large corporate businesses are allowed to function during the Chinese virus while small businesses are forced to close. Facist shutting down small businesses was supposed to prevent an increase in cases of the virus even though the owners follow the same preventative measures as the large corporate businesses that were not shutdown. The majority of the non-elites believe the government is promoting the corporate world over small businesses to heighten their ability to control the U.S. economy and the average citizen.

 

Capitalism, also referred to as free market when it is allowed to be open and free, is a necessary pillar of a free society. When citizens are not over-regulated in starting their own businesses, the competition between them encourages other businesses to put out the best product at a reasonable price. Some individuals who were considering opening an enterprise are inspired by other’s success and enter into the marketplace. The more citizens participating in the free market, the greater the contribution by these citizens to the tax rolls. The more they have “skin in the game” the more they tend to want less government assistance. These entrepreneurs become law abiding, productive citizens and cheerleaders for responsible citizenship. They tend to become patriotic people living the American dream. 

 

These small business successes are proud of their contribution to their community and nation. The entrepreneur who spent years to make an adequate income often worked with family members to create a quality business. The grit and determination to maintain high standard while producing products was their mission and probably the most significant accomplishment in their lives.

 

Each entrepreneur has a unique story to share. Their business is an expression of their own journey to personal success. It demonstrates in case after case when people have a dream and have minimal government interference they will persevere and conquer the obstacles with pure will power. Their success confirms that the work ethic and meeting the needs of others is essential in order to climb the economic ladder. 

 

Unleashing this human force to succeed has been the formula for free nations to prosper. Recently we saw the potential for capitalist power in Hong Kong with young people parading with American flags through the streets. Tragically the CCP, Communist Chinese Party, crushed the freedom of these innovators. In this instance, the fear of the independent voices of these young, independent people had to be stifled to reestablish the absolute power of the Chinese oligarchy. 

 

It appears our communist leaning elites are attempting to employ the same playbook. These democrat governors, mayors and local officials are forcing small businesses to close with no legitimate rationale. On the other side of the equation, the small businesses are begging their government officials to allow them to continue to provide services to the public. The political elites apparently want to silence these proud patriots from the political picture. Just like the CCP, these dictatorial elites want more power, rather than a free, prosperous nation. 

 

The reason that the United States has been the leader of the free world is our Constitutional Republic form of government. It has given us economic and social stability while keeping us a free people. This form of government is supposed to answer to the people not the people answering to the mean spirited, power grabbing bureaucratic leaders. If we turn our backs on our constitution our freedoms will wither away one by one. Standing up and demanding our constitutional rights is the only feasible means of retaining them. We need to bring back our small businesses even if it means inconveniences and higher prices. We need our local communities to prosper, not the corporate world.

 

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, not the corporate giants. The CEOs of our largest corporations are small in number and easy to corral and control than are the much larger number of small businesses. These local entrepreneurs are approachable, independent thinking people who know they owe their success to our form of government. It is imperative that we support our neighborhood businesses. 

 

Government should encourage small businesses to provide their services. This will bring our countrymen together without spreading Chinese virus especially with our effective therapeutics and vaccines that have been developed. This virus should no longer be used as an excuse to financially ruin them.

 

The elimination of our constitutional republic will not only destroy our small businesses and national economy but all of our freedoms that we take for granted. There is too much at stake to quietly witness the unraveling of our constitutional rights and protections. Fighting for maintaining small businesses is necessary for all Americans to protect all of our liberties endowed to us by God and the constitution.
