Especially small businesses. It seems to me that funding people to do what inspires them is a great idea.  If they can make a profit doing it is even better.  Putting the profits back into the enterprise so they can expand the number of people they can help is even better.I do not see how deliberately limiting profits will help much of anyone.  Cliff Unfortunately, too many companies already low profit companies.

It seems to me that funding people to do what inspires them is a great idea.  If they can make a profit doing it is even better.  Putting the profits back into the enterprise so they can expand the number of people they can help is even better.

I do not see how deliberately limiting profits will help much of anyone.

I live in N.J. we have just laid off 125 police officers, and nearly one hundred teachers, and added furlough days twice a month. Instead of wasting money on this use the money to educate and protect our cities. This country is bankrupt people!

I am pursuing alternatives and with my Trio of programs I am developing, L3C, is another component in its coming to fruition. Thanks for the dialogue but let's be open-minded and diverse in resolving our National issues. Opposition is also good, it allows us to see what we may not want to at the time because our mission may blind us of possible stumbling blocks.

As a for profit business it is difficult, in Michigan, to get funding support by the government, et al., even though the rhetoric states that the "State" is all for small business. Will the L3c help provide me with funding for growing this program? The bottom line is that with more successful businesses in Michigan, the more successful the economy becomes. Without support this dream is much more difficult to manifest.
