Poll question: Small business owners: who is your target demographic?
And do you think the conservatives understand this basic concept?


'Cuz the way they fight to drive down wages, I'm thinking either they're clueless or don't give a rat turd about anything but transnational corporations.




Hmmm... of course, "both" is a viable answer as well.

8. Who ever needs their computer fixed...
...and can afford to pay for the service, right?



After all, having outstanding amounts on your balance sheet is not something I imagine warms the cockles of your heart, yes?

4. More specifically, people who have enough money to spend that
they can take their cat to the vet without letting the mortgage or utilities or grocery bills go unpaid. It's a dwindling demographic, too - trust me.

5. This is true. It's the wage earner with money in his pockets that's buying
Edited on Sun Jun-07-09 04:41 PM by Cleita
things, boosting the economy, which profits find themselves to Wall Street. A rich billionaire can only consume so much, even if he spends a lot. So maybe he might buy five cars but a hundred wage earners buying one car each makes good business for the car dealer and the car manufacturer. I always thought they were really stupid about economics myself. Trickle down economics makes no sense, but bubble up economics does.

7. I clicked "People that don't have money to spend."
I get your point though and agree completely.

But when I stated my company I decided to produce a product that anyone could afford, no matter how poor.

It's not big profit, but that's where the volume is.
