Not really but many.<br />I have another post about the processing time to get approved to do government contracts.<br />Funny thing is companies are no where near as bad as the government, well not the ones I know. But yet the same problems exist inside, but no one sees it that way.Keith Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107190540208956954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-74355900062726037182011-02-25T22:26:44.960+02:002011-02-25T22:26:44.960+02:00Love the rant!

I have 15 more examples of futility attempting to deal with government entities both Federal and State as a small business owner. <br /><br />Can you imagine what a "Flat Tax" would mean to the U.S.A.? Everyone simply pays 10% (or some percentage) of their total gross income. No deductions. No loop-holes to take advantage of as a responsible business person. <br />Accounting firms slashed by 50%. The IRS cut by 66% (that would never happen). Save a lot of trees, get back at least 40 hours per small business person (probably much more) in time wasted dealing with taxes. And of course the money we each pay to accountants.<br /><br />We would all save time and money. The government workers would be cut and a lot of accountant would have to find a new job, or become advisers instead of paper-pushers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567305991515827694noreply@blogger.com
