A Tribute For Business Owner

" You put up the money to start the business that creates jobs for the rest of us. You gather the raw materials, importing some of them, devise salable products, advertise them and sell them. You pay all the operating expenses. You pay your employees and yourself 90% of the dollars that are left. You assume all the risks and invest most of your profits in additional equipment, additional facilities, and new research. You pay out in taxes in what you pay yourself. You, businessmen and businesswomen, create works goods, and services. You give more generously than anybody to mosques, churches, schools, foundations and charities of all sizes.

By any reasonable rationale you should be the focus of a very grateful nation's primary appreciation. As a public servant and provider, you should be on the cover of Time or Newsweek. You should be esteemed by your government, by the media, and by your fellow man. You seldom are. I wish I could promise it's going to be different.

Congratulations on having the guts to be in business. You are modern day heroes...albeit unsung. As unappreciated as you may sometimes feel, be proud of the great contributions you make to society. Be proud of the lives you affect so positively everyday. We applaud your efforts dan your great entrepreneurial spirit."
