But there are still a large majority of small businesses that eith can't afford it, or don't actually need it.

What has to happen is that at some point the consumer has to realize that they need to shop somewhere besides Walmart.
Noted in my calendar as the day I agreed with Minte.

BTW, thank you for keeping jobs in America. Trust me, it will save you headaches in the long run.

My friend just had to switch companies as she was burning out working as VP of Sales for a dental lab that outsourced to the Philippines. Yeah, shit was cheap which is what the doctors wanted, but they also wanted quality and didn't realize that in that situation you choose one of the other, but you're not getting both. She got so tired of getting chewed out by cheap dentists who didn't want to pay for "Made in America" that she moved her career over to managing a dozen practices for a large corporate network.
