How Politics Affects My Business

For years now, I have been a consultant to industry, I mean since the 70's. What I have noticed with dismay is that every time a Republican gets elected, my consulting business goes down the toilet. It first happened with Reagan. At the time I lived in Boston and had government contracts as well as consulting gigs with companies like Digital, Raytheon, Wang. Within months of Reagan taking office, everything dried up. My type of consulting is human relations training and transformation. Am I surprised that this would happen under a war-monger regime?

And this happened again with Bush senior and Bush junior. This time I was living in Washington, DC. I had many government contracts in teen education drug prevention programs and Welfare-to-Work Reform both federal and state. Well, as soon as George W. came in, there was no more W-T-W reform. I am so tired of watching my business go up and down like a yo yo.

Of course, I have now created a business that doesn't seem to ride the roller coaster anymore - Tantra! It seems people want to know more about sexuality and how to receive and give pleasure in all aspects of their lives no matter who is in office. Sex sells. That's all there is to it. And I am happier than ever based on what I do, how I feel and how others feel who have been to my classes. Nevertheless, I want a change in this country. I want it right now!

I'd like to see hard working people who care a lot about people actually get somewhere. I'd like to see the housing market recover the American Dream. I'd like to stop paying all my money for gas! I'd like to see young soldiers returning to their homes and loved ones. I'd like to see the planet's health restored.

I could go on and on.

Let's get Obama elected, yes?
