Go mitt!

That one sentence is not what the whole speech was about and not what the President was saying. He was referring to the “American system” and the people that help make all that happen. As a matter of fact, Mr. Romney referred to the exact same topics about businesses in a speech that he gave a little while after the President’s speech. LOL I have a lot of respect for you, but don't take things out of context and use one single sentence from a speech to create a you tube video. REDICULOUS!!

Yea, Tanya. We are a small business in Florida also. We are working to build the business. The owner, a woman, is working hard to make it a success. Two woman working together to make the business work. I am proud to work with a small business owner and WE DID BUILD IT. We love our firefighters and want to give back to our community heroes. Please let Small Business grow and get out of the way!!

This is a great American story. Tanya gives an accurate depiction of what it is like to start and grow a small business. Contrary to what many people think, it really does take serious risk, courage, determination, and sacrifice to make a small business work in 2012. We need the government to stop getting in the way! I wish more small business owners would come forward to share their stories instead of us having to hear about the bad apples of the business world everyday.
