Yeah Varn I feel your pain, I got out the import/export game due to exploding worthless paperwork. its really sad, there are so many better ways to use technology so that things could be done simpler and streamline. If I could import/export like I did in 1999 it would possible for a small operation to work, but now it takes millions to set up a legit operation and then paperwork buries you. But with the credit market dead and people unable to get letters of credit well.... many have already gone under due to that.

Small business is the lifeline of America, especially in jobs but get screwed whenever possible and as Joe the plumber shows, Obama isnt' going to help them. And coming from a construction family, plumbers do indeed make a fortune at least in my area
