What they should be doing is encouraging INVESTMENT, particlarly in small businesses, because that is where the most jobs are created.

I just wanted to stop in for a minute and ask all of you a favor. Tomorrow would have been Momma Snappy and Papa Snappy’s wedding anniversary. As expected with the recent death of Papa Snappy, Momma Snappy is having a really hard time. Please keep her in your thoughts and send good vibes/prayers/whatever into the universe for her. Thanks 🙂
