If you don't have the requirements to even start such a business it seems like it makes sense you don't get a very big cut of the revenue.

If you had a business you would do the same or go under. You are making microscopic observations about the rich being able to correct our money woes. The blame, jealousy game.

IMHO we must get back to SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS before we turn into a second world nation. Reduce the tax durden so that the "rich" keep their businesses and create more commerce. jobs and economic stablity.


I love my country but I fear my government.

You really think Reganomics, Siphon Up Wealth, really works?

Yeah, these wealthy people that can afford anything they want will be in such bad shape if they don't get that additional .02% tax break in their 12-figure salaries.

Yeah you're right about these clowns creating jobs if they get even more reduced taxes. It's just that these jobs will not be in the United States where they belong. They will be in countries where the people will be more than willing to work for 27 cents an hour!

Step aside! Coming through

So did you go march to your boss today and tell him or her that you're more valuable to the company than he or she and get that pay increase that you previously mentioned?

By the way, since you're a self-proclaimed legend, you may want to check inspect your throne room. You know, the room that's padded and where you're required to wear a straight jacket so that you don't hurt others with your awesome legendary powers.

I for one like making my company lots of money and don't whine when they make more than they did last year. On the other hand, most who manage to get ahead don't.

I am beginning to see why you have a hard time finding and keeping work.

My point was we all have the power to make whatever we want. You are free to start your own business and make millions just like anyone.

Expecting handouts is what lazy people do.

I would love to meet some of the self-satisfied individuals posting in this thread - the ones who haven fallen for all the propaganda and b.s. of the multi-national corporate elites - and determine how successful and affluent they are. The ones who are saying, 'well if you are not a millionaire it is your fault and you must be a lazy, incompetent, lousy employee' ... yep, I want to see these brilliant millionaires who seem to have so much time to be posting on threads like this ...

I'm with you on this. That's the Faux so-called News mentality for you.

Actually, it's lazy and incompetent people that seem to make a lot of money. They either promote them into management, or they work as the president of their union.
