What post are you responding to?

From this post of course, if you have common sense you would shy away from someone who is set off at the drop of a hat.

Where's the outrage at Congress for devaluing the money system with inflation?

So, either stop voting for politicians who keep passing more and more useless regulations that keep poor people poor or learn to work within the system that those people you put in power create.
Your solutions don't help him much, do they? Yet you and your ilk continue to claim that poverty is caused by a lack of a person taking responsibility for their own life..how ironic

I'm not the only one who has ever started a business with nothing.
No, I'm not a self-made millionaire - but I plan to be before I retire.
It doesn't take high intelligence to start a business, but it does take drive and determination.

And this has exactly what to do with anything I said? Apparently your guy broke the law, which tends to have consequences. In most municipalities, a business license costs ~$100 or less.

It's amazing to me that so many people get defensive when I talk about starting a business in order to improve income. Is it really so much more productive to sit around and whine about how unfair things are than it is to go out and improve your situation? Or is it just that you wish to be contrary and argue the point for the sheer sake of arguing?

Perhaps he should have taken responsibility in making sure that he was doing something that was legal...

It was illegal for him to lose his leg? I'm not sure where ya'll live, but you might want to think about moving.
