Small Business Saturday is an American shopping holiday held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year.

At a time of worldwide marketplaces and capitalism, it’s way too simple for smaller businesses to struggle and fail, even when they've superior items and services. We've the energy to alter this, and Small Business Saturday encourages people everywhere to look with smaller businesses for starters day, and also to alter the world a bit.

Not everyone had time on Saturday to patronize their local small businesses. If anything, it was a free advertisement for all the small businesses in our country.

Local news programs promoted it, and it reminded people like me, who avoided shopping this past weekend, that it's a good idea to support your local small businesses all the time.

Why is this good?

1. The local small store owners are our hard-working neighbors, and not some rich chain-store owner in another state.

2. The government provides small business loans (using our tax money) to help some small businesses get started.

3. When a small business is successful and grows, they hire more staff, and additional jobs are created in our community.

4. When a small business fails, often their creditors lose some of the money owed. This loss is spread around to be covered by others (us.) For example, when a business is bankrupt and defaults on its small business loan from the government, guess who makes up for the loss? Therefore, we want all small businesses to succeed.
