As a small business owner I face many challenges every day. Often I wonder why I have chosen to operate a small business in a constantly declining economy where the larger, big box, "Corporate-America" retailers are out there, literally guzzling the dollars out of small businesses every day. Many of these corporations are blatently obvious with their community destroying practices, such as WalMart, Sam's Club, Winco, Big Lots, Family Dollar, etc. These stores import a majority of their products sold from outside of the United States, leaving the small business owner in the dust, literally.
