LTTE to WaPo re: Kerry endorsement: All but 1 in favor
Notice that the 2nd letter (the one against) contains two interesting points:

1) He's a single issue, completely self-interested voter. If the candidate isn't going to do something for his business's taxes, then what else matters?

2) The numbers/logic do not add up. If his business is netting more than $200000 per year, as he implies in the first paragraph, he is NOT "struggling to survive". And, "struggling" businesses get all kinds of tax breaks that prevent them from having to pay much in income tax. The only small businesses paying a lot in income taxes are those that are earning a sizable income.
