So..... today,,,,,,, I received a letter from the county of Georgetown South Carolina, that stated I was not allowed to fly an "OPEN" flag. Now you may not understand why, nor do I but,,,,,, after reading the ordinance they stated no flags or banners were allowed. You may not understand my frustration but it is due to the fact that larger more established business right next to me are flying all sorts of flags, American, booze related, you name it. To me that's bullshit.
Let's image that the government was giving stimulus money to promote business and to grow the economy. Let's assume they wanted unemployed people to actually get a job, let's imagine that this was a pro business society that is trying to get out of financial debt.
OH FUCKIN YEA it is!!!! Our tax money, I mean ALL our tax money is going to try to stimulate growth. My wife and I are trying to be proactive citizens and build a business. How can we potentially hire people, pay sales tax, pay the rent, purchase goods, if we can not sell shit! If people do not know where I am they can not come in to BUY, they can not consume, spend, and OH YEA I CAN'T GROW or MAKE MONEY!
I do not understand. I called my councilman, the senator Lindsey Graham and Lt. Gov. Bauer. Pretty much just trying to get the point across that if barriers are in place to deter me from growing, how can the economy of the USA grow. It all starts with you and I. We are America. But........ it seems like big business seems to rule, the deepest pockets seem to make the decisions. The problem with this is that the people who can really make a difference in society are getting cut off at the knees and the country will not grow it will get worse. The biggest only hire so many, they only contribute so much.... they do however line the pockets of the ones who favor there views.
You may have assumed I am pissed and you are right..... By me not selling it affects my family, my life and if I fail it affects all if you!
I hope something comes from all my calls but I do not have that much hope, why.... we live in a fucked up world.... if you don't have a job now and want one,,,,, call your city council and see how many bullshit laws they are enforcing to put people like me at a disadvantage so I can not hire you! Call the president if you can find a number! Good luck to that too....
More to the point we are spending TAX dollars to have someone drive around and enforce a FLAG ordinance, then have them photocopy that ordnance, highlight it and then mail it. Now who just paid for their time, stamp, highlighter, paper, gas, car insurance, salary., etc.... Yea you, both you the working man and the one looking for the job, that you cant get because the business you just applied at can not afford to pay you due to the lack of business. But.... they are complying to the ordnance so sorry you are out of work!!!!
I want to tell all you thinking of starting your dream that this is a reality and will probably happen to you. Probably not this exact thing but..... You know what I mean!
Be STRONG!
Keep the faith but remember that NO one is going to aid you!!!! FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS! ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR CAUSE!
