Would Microbusiness Owners Please Stand Up?

I think it is ironic that you talk about the issues for microbusiness - one of which is MONEY - and then want to charge a fee to subscribe to your blog.

I'll still to the blogs for small businees which are free.

Formal Definition

I think employees is only one way to look at it. It is overall resources = people + money that define what you can do and how you do it.

CA defines a micro business as one that has revenues of less then $2.75M per annum or a manufacturer with <= 25 employees. It's a start ...

The best thing government can do for the owners of micro-businesses is see to it that GOOD health insurance is available to each and every owner and employee WITHOUT directly taxing the business itself.

In other words, insure janitorial workers evenly with software developers. There is no decent reason why Google employees (for instance) are more worthy of health security than that guy sweeping the aisle at Walmart. Or any farmer. Or any firewood cutter. Or any backhoe operator.

This is a VALUES issue.
