Is that everyone's answer today?? just start your own business? Your success rate the first year is about as big as winning the Powerball. Not good at all. And where do people have all the extra capital to invest in a business and have it pay off MAYBE down the road in a few years when the bills keep coming right on time? The market is pretty much oversaturated with all the crap you can think of today as well

Exactly
And the "start your own business" does not fly.
Why?
Because the majority of Corporations in bed with the government do not have people running it that started said business.

Why are people so loaded with envy of what someone else has? Living like that must be so tiresome and stressful.

.
every year we see hundreds of thousands of new businesses, and while most fail, thousands succeed.

Fellow named Sam Walton started with one itty bitty store in Arkansas, did much of the physical work himself.

wonder what happened to the store Sam started?

Oh yes employs 2 million Americans now.

Goldman Sachs pretty much owns DC.
So why do you continue to support them? How much did you get for your vote?

Thousands of business that come and go and not in bed with the politicians.
Most small business do not have lobbyists, teams of tax accountants and teams of lawyers.
