[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1776139, member: 40587"] I have been self.employed and/or owned businesses all my life. The few times I did have a job, I figured it was because I was too stuoid to figure out hw not to. When I went off to college, my grandaddy, who only went through 8th grade and died a multi millionaire told me " Boy, don't you come home from college and tell me you got a job making $250k a year ( a lot of ,money in 1974). If you do you are a fool and I am wasting money on your tuition. You need to go to that colllege and study how to be the man that PAYS people $250k a year, because than man is making a killing off of your ass paying you that $250k a year for your labor. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be paying anyone that much." I took it to heart, often making less than minimum wage, and often 6 or 7 figures in a year. Sometimes in the same year. But I never answered to no boss. I never took my hard earned money and started a company to give some one a job. I did it make ME money. No one ever offered to pay me more for MY goods or services so that I could make more money, and I damned sure don't want to pay more than I need to for a product or service so their employees can make more money. No one ever funded a retirement plan for me, provided health insurance for me, or paid me to go on vacation, either. I had to provide that for myself. I care nothing at all about taking MY money to fund these for others, Especially a damned government employee. [/QUOTE]
