For the first time since Andrew Jackson, we have elected a business person, not a career politician.

As my friend that owns a pizza shop says, “I still get up in the morning and go off to work.” For most of us life will be the same. So what do we have to look forward to? What does the future hold?

I wish for opportunity and prosperity for all people, America, and the rest of the world.

I wish for jobs for those that want to work hard for themselves and their families.

I wish for healthcare for all Americans at a reasonable cost, and the ability to see all providers. Medicare has provided amazing levels of quality and service for many years. The “not so” Affordable Care Act was a step
in the right direction, but poorly implemented. The results for the insurance companies was devastating, because the government failed to reimburse for the enormous losses. I hope it is fixed in 2017.

I wish for less regulation and less burden on small business. Small business employs more people in America than the mega corporations. Small business is the American Economy, not Wall Street, not the oil companies, not the media companies, not Hollywood. It is made up of companies that employ less than 100 people. These little American dreams are the coffee shops, insurance agencies, local ad agencies, massage therapists, and hair dressers. It’s the private duty nurses and doctors and dentists in private practice. It’s the rural mail person and Fed Ex ground delivery people. The Uber and Lyft drivers. It’s you and me.

I wish for a reasonable tax assessment.

Reasonable for everyone, not just the poor or wealthy. “47% of Americans do not pay income tax.” Remember those words? While accurate, it’s not a complete statement. Those on Social Security only, don’t pay taxes. Those on State assistance only, don’t pay taxes. Kids in school don’t pay taxes. Folks working for American companies living outside of the US don’t pay taxes. Many illegal folks do pay taxes, they just use someone else’s social security number. Warren Buffet openly states he pays too little in taxes, but less than .05% of Americans have his income.

I look forward to a great future for my family, my wonderful clients, and the great country we call the United States of America!

If we don’t like the new President, we can certainly use a phrase he coined, “YOU’RE FIRED.”
