You are kidding right? I cannot believe what it costs me to get these guys out here when we need a new well drilled. We all should be so gainfully employed.

It is expensive.

Now and then some one will comment to me that they have a $9,000/$10,000 bill and we were just there one day......however, we charge by the foot....not by the hour.

And we have a huge investment in equipment.

No, it was the 13th Amendment. I don't believe any guns were drawn for the ceremony.

So you're playing the system while the poor buggers who work for you and the people you overcharge are picking up the slack. Got it.

Anyone who would trade freedom (liberty) for security deserves neither. Anyone who isn't willing to sacrifice and fight for their God given rights, will earn their life of servitude.
