Nothing against small business owners, but why shouldn’t they pay taxes at the same rate as everyone else? Employees have small businesses called “Me Inc.,” which they invest in a parent company. Treat us the same.

Donald Trump’s inaugural speech showed why he won the election. He was able to convince people that America is in terrible, horrible shape, when it really isn’t.

Seriously, Democrats, are you proud of your behavior at the inauguration? You sure didn’t act like the educated, progressive, inclusive sophisticates that you claim to be. And your Hollywood hypocrites were right there with you.

We must remember that all of the elegant words Trump spoke at his inauguration and the promises that he made were coming from a pathological liar.

It seems realtors and hair stylists are similar. There are far too many of them and not enough quality, professional ones.
