The presidential election happened last night and I'm sorry to say that I am very disappointed with the American people. This great nation was founded on principles of freedom and individual accountability, and today we see that the nation as a whole no longer values those principles. Today we have voted for collectivism and dependency, and it makes me worry for my future as a chiropractor and business owner.
The very principle behind owning ones own business whether it be a chiropractic office, or any other business, is to be the best that you can be at your profession and be rewarded for it by having more patients, or selling more of your product. We have seen in the last four years that increasing regulation of business, and an economy that's barely got a pulse has made this simple principle harder to achieve.
I fear that without real change in our system, our nation is about to go bankrupt and the strangle hold on successful business is only going to get tighter. I will be done with school in two years, and at that time is our economy going to be in a position where starting up a new practice is going to still be a possibility. I wish I knew.
