Yes I do own my own business and have 3 full time employee's and myself. I also have 2 other independent sales people who specialize in working with bussness of 50 or more employees to meet their needs. Looking at your numbers showing your raises it looks like you have received about a 15% pay increase over the 5 years which does not sound that bad compaired to what others have gone through. Companies have also been down sizing long before Bush took off and deregulation has nothing to do with them down sizing.
