R & R Containers A Small Local Business

Our country is filled with small local business. They make up three quarters of business in our country equaling 28.2 million in number.

The success of small local business is incredibly important to the strength of a town.

Imagine the scope from the dollar’s point of view.

A man walks into Pete’s Hardware, a small local business…

He buys a hammer for $26.99

  • Pete buys his hammers from Vaughan Manufacturing, an American corporation. Vaughan is located in Hebron, Illinois where they employee Americans and pay taxes.

small local business The man leaves Pete’s Hardware and goes home to hang a picture for his wife.

  • Pete employs 10 people who live in his town. He pays property taxes, employment taxes and gross receipts taxes on sales at his store. He gets some tax breaks but not many. Pete spends his income locally at businesses who also provide employment for residents of his community.

Now… say the man had gone to a “Big Box” business.

He buys the same hammer for $24.96.

  • A portion of the money does go to the American owned business in Hebron, IL.
  • The “Big Box” store also has interests in other countries. They may invest money to sponsor sporting events that allow them to advertise, so they can make more money.
  • They are a publicly traded company, so many (millions of) people have an interest in making sure this company profits.
  • The “Big Box” company employs many and pays taxes, but gets huge tax breaks. I was unable to find exactly who is collecting the overall profits, or where they spend them.
  • The “Big Box” companies, can offer you slightly lower prices because they order in tremendous bulk and are able to make a significantly higher profit on each item.

I am not saying that the big stores are bad, but consider where your money goes. If you have a chance, buy from your neighbor instead of some millionaire who you’ll never see.

January 19, 2015, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, represents a day to remember a true American Leader.

Not a leader elected through campaigning in the media and convincing thousands or millions to vote for him so he can legally represent them to vote bills that become law. We recognize a leader, who had a set of ethical beliefs, who believed by this faith in God that each of us is created equal; regardless of race, creed or culture. He arrived at the pinnacle of his cause during a time when by speaking the words he believed, he and many others lost their lives. Dr. King, set the machine in motion, for future trail blazers to have a road on which to walk. His message was never easy to deliver, nor was it easy to hear. But listening now, considering its message on each life, reveals a system of belief that is hard to seek and hard to live.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. probably made more heavily attended, public speeches than most politicians. And boy could he give a speech. I have given you three to look at but there are many more. Search YouTube if you get hooked.

The following video is a collection of clips from Dr. King’s speeches about the inequality of American Domestic Economy. It sounds very similar to news clips that have played over the last couple years. 

The is the classic “I Have A Dream Speech.” I wanted to include it because it represents and iconic speech of American History. This is not the best audio version available, but I think the visual image of the delivery is important.

This is the I Have Been To the Mountaintop Speech. It was his last. April 3, 1968, at the Mason Temple in Memphis, Tennessee. The next day, King was assassinated.

Listening to Dr. King speak and remembering what he spoke in the face of exemplifies the spirit of America.

R&R Containers as a member of the Cobb County, Georgia community, remember this Georgia born American Crusader. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

 

Fetus Found In Trash

Georgia mourns when a fetus is found in the Trash!

As I searched for a topic to blog about I saw story after story about this incident. Being a member of the waste disposal community and a member of a larger community of mothers, this story strikes close to home. I have read several articles about the recent discovery of landfill workers finding a fetus in their recycling sort. Truthfully, this is so incredibly hard to wrap my head around I am almost speechless; which is tough because I am a writer. I simply can not ignore this story.

WRCBtv.com | Chattanooga News, Weather

The highlight is the outpouring of the community to want to reach out to the woman who felt it necessary to make this decision. I do appreciate the stance of law enforcement to focus their attention on the well being of the mother. This is a tragedy that a woman would feel so lost and alone that she would have to make a choice like this. The pure depression of the miscarriage itself or what ever the actual story may be is a sign that we need to care for each other more and reach into the lives of the less fortunate to be sure they know they are loved.

I am not going to glamorize this I will simply say, I pray for you, Miss, where ever you are and I send love and blessings to you in hopes that you are comforted by the love you need in this time.
