I really don't care how well or poorly you do. I just am stating my opinion that I find it to be the acme of hubris to say "I" built this (alone) when in fact you were only able to build it because enough of those other clock pieces were working properly.
But simply needing the hands on the clock to display the time, doesnt mean the parts inside didnt do their part all by themself.

A car doesnt move all by itself, but that doesnt mean the gas doesnt produce the energy needed.

Backup YOUR claim by telling me how government helped to build my business..

I aint angry, I'm embarassed for people like you..
The legal system upon which all of us depend. The regulatory system that allows this system to continue without collapsing. The infrastructure that the private sector would never want to operate on its own that enables you customers, suppliers and all your goods to move.

The list is exhaustive. Your knowledge base is not.

Very simple logic. In logic there is a difference between a necessary condition and a sufficient condition. You being born is a necessary condition to your "success", but it is not a sufficient condition absent other conditions. As I said there are other factors, but absent you being born you would not be a "success"

I know lots of people who can read and write but are complete failures in life. Simply reading and writing doesnt qualify one to be a success

Why take on more responsibility of more employees when it doesn't make sense.

I don't think whining would get the job done.
So when you were 1 you yourself paid for your food and clothes. Very interesting.

I never claimed that, all I said was that I paid my dues. My freedom wasn't given to me, I paid for it. Did you?
