I HAVE A TRACK LOADER ...TRIAXLE DUMP TRUCK AND I AM LOOKING FOR WORK IN SOUTH CAROLINA

I AM A DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE...I'VE CARRIED EXPENSIVE WORKERS' COMPENSATION, GENERAL LIABILITY AND ALL REQUIREMENTS TO BE ABLE TO GET A PIECE OF STATE OR ANY ROAD WORK BUT FOR 11 YEARS I WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO WORK BUT SHORT TIMES. THE BIG PAVING OR CLEARING COMPANIES HAD WHAT THEY USED ( A GROUP OF WHITE GUYS ), WHO EACH HAD A TRUCK LIKE US BUT THEY WORKED 24-7 WHILE MY TRUCK ONLY DID 1/2 A DAY TWICE A WEEK. HOW CAN WE GET TO WORK IN A FAIR ENVIRONMENT. I SUFFERED ALL KIND OF PREJUDICES. ALL THE ROADS AROUND CHARLOTTE , NC WERE DONE IN THAT WAY. GIVE US A HOPE OF CHANGE AND PROSPERITY.

I AM A 39 YEAR OLD MAN OF THE LIKE BACKGROUND AS OUR PRESIDENT. I WILL WORK AND ALWAYS HAVE, HOWEVER THE DOOR DOESN'T OPEN WIDE ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET MY FOOT IN.I WOULD LIKE TO GET TO WORK!

Figure it out

As the government is a service support group of citizens who work to take care of our collective social needs, we have what is called the "Private Sector" that is the backbone of America.

In this country we have more than 3 (three) million millionaires. Now, if each of those millionaires were to hire 2 (two) people the unemployment rate would immediately drop.

Employed people buy things. The more sensibly well paid and full-time worker buys more things.

When people buy more things four events take place.

One: Production increases significantly providing additional opportunity for hiring.

Two: No need to raise taxes. The percentage of tax stays the same but the volume of business increases revenues.

Three: Crime decreases. Our tax burden to support the many thousands of prisoners we have is transferring much needed funds from maintaining our infrastructure.

Four: Social welfare programs have a greatly reduced load our integrity and our tax dollars can be used to pave roads, etc.
