[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1935381, member: 7539"] I'm guessing that you'd have found a way to start your business without the Goverment's help if it didn't exist. If you're referring to an SBA loan, then I'd also argue that the Government didn't really have much to do with it anyway... it's still a loan from a bank, just backed up by the SBA. If your business plan wasn't solid to begin with, you'd have still been refused. Chances are that if you'd have just gone in without the SBA backing, you might have been successful too. The bottom line there is that millions and millions of Americans every single day find a way to start businesses and make it without Government help. I'm confident that you can too. EDIT: OH and I wouldn't really consider an SBA loan to be an entitlement anyway. You don't benefit from the roads that bring all kinds of goods and services to your doorstep? That bring your customers to you? That allow you to travel freely? In fact, you benefit from Wal-Mart being able to thrive as well... It's not as cut and dry as you may wish it to be and quantifying who gets MORE benefit isn't even the point is it? [/QUOTE]
