Always grubbin for other people's money. It's your damn dumb fault for agreeing to the pay rate.

So how do you conduct your business? Do you pay your employees more than they're worth? Do you run your business at the break-even point, and not once cent beyond?

It is how you have food to eat and clothes to wear - because someone else made a profit, invested that profit into a business, and hired you to work at that business. Instead of being upset that the person who had the inspiration and took the risk to start a business made made more money than you did, you should be glad that the owner's efforts created the job that put food on your table.

If you want to make a fortune too, nobody is stopping you. Go ahead and start a business and then you too can keep all the profits.

Wanting someone else to take all the risks in running a business while you collect a secure paycheck, and then resenting the fact that they get to keep the profits is immoral. Liberals have tricked themselves into believing their jealousy and envy of people who had the initiative to take risks and become a success is actually some high moral standard of fairness. It isn't.

There's nothing fair or moral about you wanting to take none of the risks in business but yet get a full share of the profits. That is greed, not fairness.
Yes Natalie.... Why don't you take the risk? If you want to make a fortune too, nobody is stopping you. Go ahead and start a business and then you too can keep all the profits.

I understand how it works. You're too busy whining and thinking you deserve someone else's money to understand. The typical Obama bot.

So Natalie.... Why don't you stop whining and take the risk?

And you don't even understand how you supported Obama going after the upper middle class and NOT the rich. That is the reason Obama turned me off. I'm smart enough to know the difference, you typical Obama bots, Obama was able to fool you and he laughed his ass off at you while he did it.

So Natalie.... You think it's so damn easy? Why don't you stop whining and take the risk and start your own business?

LOL, yea, just as I figured, you would be confused. That's why you are such an easy target for Obama going after the middle class. Of course you wouldn't understand that either. You're such a bot.

I wish there was some common ground with us. You look after the rich while I support the middle class. What I'm confused about is why you support the rich on the backs of the middle class

No, I support the middle class while you support poverty. As I said, you don't know the difference between the middle class and the rich.

Until you pull yourself out of your ignorance we won't have common ground.

If you truly supported the middle class you would take a risk, start a business then hire people. When you do that, get back to me. Only then you might eventually get a clue. Instead you whine.
