I am sorry if you are un-successful, but I am not a bleeding heart liberal and quite frankly, that is not my problem.

Or were you trying to be rude and suggest others were not honest in their level of success??

Yep. That's EXACTLY what i'm saying.

Everyone on C-D is a working stiff. Perhaps one or two people (i know for a fact that a few physicians and at least one lawyer is on here) are legit, but everyone else is schlepping a brownbag to work IMO.

I am business owner whom does not NEED to hire more workers, but I COULD. However, I will not until this idiot is out of office and the Dems disaster is in the cleaning up phase. Clear enough?
You COULD hire more workers? That means that you're ripe for expansion because of increased demand, which means more business and more profits. You'd intentionally NOT hire because you don't like the man in the White House? Never heard of that....sorry.

BTW, some of the longest hours work per week are by doctors and lawyers.

It is not that simple.

Really, start your own company.

You will see.

I would venture that there are a good number of retired folks as well.
That's a pretty big blanket statement without any data to back it up.

From the content of posts one can tell who really owns their own business vs corporate monkeys. I don't feel the need to call them out though..I just skip their posts because they ASSume to obviously "know it all".

Not worth getting upset over dd because they will continue to post their dribble.

Yes, he's trying to. And doing a good job of it. But we still have a little freedom left even though it is fading fast.
