Vote a straight Democratic ballot and give the President a Congress that works for America, unlike the present one that works against America.

I've been in the bar industry for more than 20 years. It takes a hell of a lot of business acumen to run a bar! The statistics bare out what I'm talking about as well. 1 in 3 bars fail and close within the first year of operations and only 25% of all new bars make it more than 5 years. Running a bar is a juggling act involving payroll and inventory management, human resources headaches that most other businesses don't have to deal with (staff members with difficult schedules to have to plan staffing around, etc), keeping p & l numbers in line (food cost, liquor cost, etc). To wit....Boehner and Ryan couldn't run a race with each other and they sure as hell could NOT run a bar. Running a bar is HARD work with LONG hours...something neither of them knows anything about.
