McPalin or Obiden: Does it really matter?

One last politically based post for me and I'm done. Again, no opinions here. Honestly, we're kind of screwed (official political term) either way for a while no matter who wins.

Let's be real here; 50% of what each candidate has promised will never happen. Some if it they will just forget they mentioned and the rest was all hot air that they really have no control over anyway. We just forgot to remember this isn't a dictatorship country and the President has limited power.

Oh well. As a business owner, especially a technology based business owner, you really can't care one way or another. We have the power in this country's business world in present and future time. Technology isn't going away. As a matter of fact it becomes more important to consumers and businesses every year.

We make our own path.

Yes maybe the government could help us out a bit with taxes and health benefits so we can afford to hire people and make sure our own families get health coverage. Other than that, they play a very small role in our tech businesses.

When tomorrow comes, the country will still be standing and nothing will have changed. My advice to you is not to listen to the media as they spew their opinions on you about what the election outcomes means. If their opinions mattered, they would be running for President and not interviewing people.

We make our own destiny.

For most of the entrepreneurs out there right now, the government has never done a thing to help them have retirement money. The government has never even patted us on the back for the fact that we create the majority of the jobs in this country. We get rewarded with paying into both ends of social security, which many of us may never get to collect on. We also get to live with the fact that it's almost an impossibility to get out any money we put into unemployment. How's that for a kick in the pants?

We write our own ticket.

Businesses and consumers need us no matter who the President is. This is the greatest capitalist country in existence. Let's take full advantage of it starting today regardless of who's in the White House starting in 2009.

I still hope you went out there and voted. I just want to make sure you understand that the winner has much less impact on your business than you do.
