So then now you have a lot of time hands to post 8600 times in 1 year on CD here.

BTW..... how much did Obama raise taxes on businesses because I still see businesses starting up. Maybe business just isn't your thing.... maybe FOX news pundit?
hmm, customers keep coming, it just can't be helped. You see my business provides (supplies) things customer want and are willing to pay for. Keep trying, you are not getting anywhere.

So what value do you provide that people are willing to pay for?

People think "I want to go into business to make a million dollars". Those people typically fail because they fail to realize that the customer comes first. If you provide a service or product that serves people well the result will be a successful business. If the business is successful this results in the company hiring people. Nothing like liberals demonizing the very people who can hire people contributing to your success.

...so without these customers or demand there would be no one to provide "supplies to"

My value is in the pharmacy. I dispense patients' medication.

.....so demand seems to be important then.

Or conservatives demonizing the very people who assisted you with that success. But hey, if you think you can take your business to Sudan and be just as successful be all means.

So if you were forced to give me medication for nothing in return the pharmacy owner would not be happy. Keep forcing you to give me free medication the owner will have to cut back and you will lose your job.

Actually I probably can. There are people in Sudan who would love a paying job.

No one demonizes the paying customer. It's the people who expect everything for free that is the problem.

When you buy a supply you are happy, I am happy. When you just take a supply, you are happy I am not happy. Both matter but forcibly taking from one to give to the other is not good.

Who is being forced to give uncompensated goods or services? Either the customer pays out of pocket or the ins pays us. People will always be sick and unhealthy for the foreseeable future so my demand is looking good. It's competition we are more worried about.

People are forced to give up part of their profit to give to the government to give to the people who expect others to pay their way. And now with Obamacare responsible people are being kicked off their insurance because of those very people. Now we have to find a new policy, pay higher premiums and deductibles to subsidize them.

Employees typically cash a paychecks. Entrepreneurs, don't cash a paycheck at all. They put up the capital, take responsibility for loans and other financing, pay the expenses (including your paycheck).

If, over the course of months or years there is more revenue than expense, they enjoy profits which enable them to live well and invest in another round of entrepreneurship. If there is less revenue than expenses, and if the losing trend is not reversed, the enterprise eventually fails, and the entrepreneur goes bankrupt

What you get paid as an employee is not a share of the profits that your work makes possible, but an advance on the speculation of the profit.

When heavy taxation, anti-business or anti-'rich' rhetoric from powerful politicians, instability and overbearing, unpredictable, and capricious regulation reaches a critical mass, the risks become too great for the investment to proceed. Capital goes on strike or looks for opportunities elsewhere, overseas. Kiss your job (or if you're lucky, your hours, your benefits and/or your raise) goodbye.

Yes, indeed. Jobs come from those almighty "job creators' that the Republicans looove to worship and lick their feet. Only guess what? They aren't 'creating' any jobs; they want to keep ALL the profit they have been making for the past 5 years.

Tell me, where have the so-called job creators been in this era of record profits? Hiding out counting money with their shareholders?

When they pi$$ on everyone - Republicans refer to it as 'trickle down' and drink it down like nectar.
