Say goodbye to Twinkies

This shows a sheer lack of perspective. It takes a good business plan and LOTS of capital to open your own business.

I would say its likely that very few had any education as how to start a business plan or run a business, and I'd wager less than 0.05% of the striking bakery factory workers have the capital neccessary to open their own bakery.

There is so much ridiculous in this thread that its, well, ridiculous.

Wow you have no clue on starting a business. Many Americans started a business on pocket change and made it big. This is why foreigners are successful, they don't seem to have these big labor union views of how its impossible to start a business with nothing but the sweat equity and a will to do it. Somehow you have to be rich to start a place up is a farce. All it takes is an idea, talent, and a crap ton of labor.

I for one sold my business due to the tax climate, 80 hrs a week, and this administration but I was doing well for someone that went in debt to buy a saltwater aquarium shop. I took out a loan and only had a few hundred bucks to start. In 5 years it went from Gross 15k a month sales to 45k a month. Problem was not the pay it was the hours, figure those in and you as a owner are under min wage.
