I Want to Start My Own Business

I'm middle aged and not any longer a prime candidate for being hired. I also live in a town of 16,000 people. Not good being out of work! I had a thought of buying a nice top grade carpet cleaner machine and going in to business for myself. The Colorado workforce center is a joke, every single post they have on the board is void. The positions are filled before you get there. The young guys have all the luck, and females in this town have even more luck. It gets scary at my age when it starts becoming real tough to find a job. Business owners get stuck with 40% income theft from the IRS (Illegal revenue service) and that's a hell of a dent for someone just trying to get by, but I think the small investment and efforts just might be worth it. I think a lot of it has to do with advertising to maybe 3 or 4 nearby cities too, and doing a great job with just enough markup to be fair and equal a half way decent income. Besides, bosses are getting stupider by the year.
