Hoping that Trump gets elected. I have a small construction business here in Fairfax for 25 years and sales/jobs have been way below average since 08.

If we can get jobs back in America people will have the money again to spend on nice things. I think Trump understands small business from being a businessman himself. Trump 2016

If Trump even pulls close the market will panic and anyone with retirement money in the stock market will lose millions.

Even with the lies about Trump in the above picture he still comes out better than Hillary.

Just another reason Trump is now winning.

Trump is losing not winning. Typical Trump supporter dumb as a rock.

At Monday night’s debate, Donald Trump was called out for stiffing the people who work for him. Trump has been accused of failing to pay hundreds of contractors. And so far, he hasn’t seemed very sorry. When asked about failing to pay someone by Hillary Clinton this week, Trump replied, “Maybe he didn’t do a good job and I was unsatisfied with his work.”

I take that attack personally. I’m one of the many small business owners who’ve been used by Trump, exploited and forced to suffer a loss because of his corporation’s shady practices.

My relationship with Trump began in 1989, when he asked me to supply several grand and upright pianos to his then-new Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City. I’d been running a music store for more than 30 years at that point, selling instruments to local schools and residents. My business was very much a family affair (my grandsons still run the store). And I had a great relationship with my customers — no one had ever failed to pay.

I was thrilled to get a $100,000 contract from Trump. It was one of the biggest sales I’d ever made. I was supposed to deliver and tune the pianos; the Trump corporation would pay me within 90 days. I asked my lawyer if I should ask for payment upfront, and he laughed. “It’s Donald Trump!” he told me. “He’s got lots of money.”

But when I requested payment, the Trump corporation hemmed and hawed. Its executives avoided my calls and crafted excuses. After a couple of months, I got a letter telling me that the casino was short on funds. They would pay 70 percent of what they owed me. There was no negotiating. I didn’t know what to do — I couldn’t afford to sue the Trump corporation, and I needed money to pay my piano suppliers. So I took the $70,000.

Losing $30,000 was a big hit to me and my family. The profit from Trump was meant to be a big part of my salary for the year. So I made much less. There was no money to help grow my business. I had fewer pianos in the showroom and a smaller advertising budget. Because of Trump, my store stagnated for a couple of years. It made me feel really bad, like I’d been taken advantage of. I was embarrassed.

Today, when I hear Trump brag about paying small business owners less than he agreed, I get angry. He’s always suggesting that the people who worked for him didn’t do the right job, didn’t complete their work on time, that something was wrong. But I delivered quality pianos, tuned and ready to go. I did everything right. And then Trump cheated me. It’s a callous way to do business.

Trump keeps saying that it’s time we got a businessman to run the country. Of course, I think it’s important to find someone who can bolster the economy. But I also think we need a president who cares about small business owners, and about honoring his commitments. That’s not Trump.

55% of the jobs in the United States are from medium and small businesses. I have run a small business for 36 years. The last 8 years have been difficult to say the least. I don't want anything from the government. I just want them to be less intrusive. I know Obama says that the government built my business. Funny, all the hours worked, risk taken, gambling on choices made, I must have missed the government official on site. Silly me, I could have used the help. As a small business owner, I'm voting for Trump. I may be wrong, I may be right. If Hillary gets elected, I'll probably fold up and do something else. The risk dealing with a government that is willing to change the rules after the fact would be too great. Put Trump down all you like. He's the only candidate, including our president, that has any actual business experience. Unless you consider government appointments, charitable organizations, and graft as such.

Trump will not become President. The fix has been in from the beginning. Hillary will be President. :-(

With a 18 K min wage raise to 15 dollars a hour, When they get that raise. How bout you?? Whos giving you a 18 k raise??

The only thing your getting out of it is having 18 K of your earnings devalued. By higher rents, Higher house prices, everything will go up artificially. Car prices everything as "People can pay more"

Hope you don't have any family on Social Security.. No ones giving them a raise and those only having a S.S benefit will lose the worst.

Min wages should be adjusted by region and with better economic conditions.
