It`s the framing story that establishes context. That`s where the media bias in favor of Obama was. Obama was always portrayed as an historic figure, someone who brought hope and excitement to the masses. McCain was always portrayed as the old man - the attacker - who had no new ideas and of course would take the country back to the old days.

But I digress...

I suggest you work your plan on a local level and see what happens.

And actually, I may not fully understand what BidWilly is, but as a freelance producer and small business owner I know full well what it means to bid against other people. I lost a project from a customer that I`d already proven my skill and price point with to a cousin of the client who basically offered to do the job for free. We`re talking $2,500 for a $20,000 bid. I`m not kidding!

Now, I`d like to ask you in the interest of conversation, how does that help the community? If the value of a product or service is continually lowered because some guy wants to do a friend a favor or undercut everyone does that not lower the income potential for everyone?

And finally, there actually are a ton of "referral" web sites out there already. We put in a new heater using an online service to find a competent company. They gave us a bid and offered to match the other companies bid. We actually chose a higher bid because the lowest bid was obviously not competent. My point, your idea is already in place and has been for hundreds of years.

Re: BARACK OBAMA`S PLAN will begin a waive of new opportunities for entrepreneurs and open up the market forever to EVERYONE!

Waive is correct. Waive all freedom. Waive all prosperity. Waive all rights. Waive all choice.

How does this scenario grab you?

"Attention all citizens of the People`s Republic of America. You are all to immediately report to your nearest Office of Work to receive your new work assignment. Upon arrival, you will be adminstered a tracking chip without which your work credits will not be recorded and you will not be able to eat, drink or sleep. Once you are checked in, you will immediately report to your new Employer who will be providing you with Everything, assuming you earn sufficient credits to redeem for any needs you require.

  "Welcome to the ObamaNation."

 

To flyemhighrockets, thank you for the kind words. Our goal is to help as many people as we can in a time of the many economic challenges that are facing us.

 

To MRT14 , thank you for the suggestions you made. I also want to make sure you are aware there is a major difference between open bidding, traditional bidding, and lead-based services. Traditional bidding does not give businesses the chance to alter their bids based on what another business bids, BidWilly does. Also, lead-based services, such as servicemagic.com, are disliked by many small businesses and/or startups because they are charging astronomical fees by simply referring  3+ businesses to a consumer. While on the other hand, BidWilly is a free service and does not provide leads, the consumer selects the businesses they want to bid.

 

Bidwilly operates much differently than both of the models mentioned above which you can learn more about by visiting our blog on "How it Works". http://bidwilly.com/BidWillyBlog/?page_id=10.  

There are individuals in the population that, given opportunity where none has existed in the past, will thrive, become entrepeneurs like yourselves, employ others and pay taxes that will in turn support our government.  There are even those, who somehow, coming from a deplorable background, will fight to do the same on their own.  There are also people who, for whatever reasons including knowing only what they`ve seen, will take every freebee offered them and suck the system dry, happily not lifting a finger.  The extremes are out there, and everything in between.

Any approach for an economic stimulus or turn-around has to have the nuance to get the best from this huge range of individuals. 

It`s easy to see yourself as having worked to get where you are and to think each individual can do the same.  To consider the path you chose as available to every other citizen in this country, even those born and raised in extreme poverty, abuse, broken families, etc., is simplistic.  When discussing the `redistribution of wealth`, it is important to look at the potential value of supporting those that would otherwise die on the vine, or wallow in public assistance.

I don`t see Barack Obama as being simplistic or dillusional in his thinking, and I look to him and his team to see a big picture where a larger proportion of our citizens are able to contribute in the way you have.

yes there is already talk that he isnt going to increae the tax burden on the rich,  well at least for the first couple of years,  but I`m sure everybody is hearing tha same things yourselves. 

 

Can you say campaign promise???

 

To tell the masses that he was going to do something that is bad for the country but promised to give most of us more money than we currently have was a very risky campaign promise because every person that is truely educated on the subject knew it was a very bad idea. 

 

Opps  it is a bad  idea, right??  why else would you want to put something off for acouple years if it was good  for us as a whole.

 

 

A little story, true but sad.

 

The spouse of a friend of mine is a teacher, At our local high school one of the students told the social studies teacher ( shortly after the fourth of Nov.) "We are going to get our check"  The teacher had to explain that just because B. Obama was elected it didnt mean that he was going to send a check out to everybody.

 

but it makes you think how many people thought that way.  The kid got the idea from someone and we are talking  high school, someone who already  is or is about to be old enough to vote on her own shortly.
