Well son, let me see if I can enlighten your bad, on a few points.
1. Now I dont know what war you were in, nor do I care, except to say thank you for your service. 20 years is a long time, and I am sure you did a fine job. But do not for one moment think that you are the only one that was. I became real intimate with the earth in North Korea. And have witnessed many of my friends die, lose legs, arms faces and worse. I know full well the horrors of war. So lets act like men shall we. Because if you can not do that, you do have a problem.
I never said, nor did I for even one second believe what I posted, would be taken as a complaint. It was not intended to be. It was a statement of fact. These are some of the things you have to accept as responsibility
when running or owning a business. It goes with the territory. It was to me an honor and a privilege to do so.
2. So again I ask you. What part of taking someones money away from them is right?
Perhaps this is not the country you want
3. If it is a socialist country you want. By all means go to China. If its a dictator ship you crave, you might want to try Cuba or Russia. If it is religious zealots that turns you on, by all means try Iran or one of the many countries over there that are into that life.
You said in your post you have never had to make payroll, nor have you ever had a small or large business.
So why is it, you feel compelled to comment on the workings of someone that has. You see, unbridled passion, bespeaks of stupidity. Now I for one moment dont think that of you, but on the other hand. One never knows does one?
Have a good day

It sure sounded like whining, to me. I thank you for your service. I too don't care which war you were in, but by your post it seems apparent you were in the Korean War.
Now I've seen this argument many times...
"

I don't have to have been in every situation to have a say about something. You're the one that decided to lay out all the hardships, of being a business owner. Why did you feel the need to tell me about it? Let's see exactly why you decided to share something, with me, that according to you, I "
dont have a clue" of what I'm talking about. Here's your diatribe...
"
No longer do I have to spend 12,14,16
hour days working. Or the many weeks on end, I spent at the job 7 days a week,
making sure my employees got paid instead of me. No more do have to worry about the health of those very same employees, or there families. No more do I have to wonder and plan for, what new and inventive ways the EPA, or OSHA, or the DOTP, city planers, the water regulation board, county, state, or federal
Agencies will put in the way of business, just so I can pay those very same employees. How very nice of you to say that.
I do suspect you dont have a clue just what the hell I'm talking about.
So please enlighten me as to what part of taking some ones money from them they did not earn, is in anyway right?"
Sounds like a little bitterness, to me. I can only surmise you're trying to tell me just how terrible you had it. Something I pointed out in my previous post. So why don't you take the guess work out of why you posted that whine, instead of me guessing. Because if I'm guessing, I guess you're whining.
It seems to me that your biggest whine is about paying taxes. I guess that is what you're talking about when you say...
"
So please enlighten me as to what part of taking some ones money from them they did not earn, is in anyway right."
You make little childish statements like..."
So lets act like men shall we". By all means, quit your whining and we'll all "act like men". And the "man" I know you are knows full well "taxes" have been around longer than you and I have been alive. So quit whining about taxes. Now if you're whining about something else, please enlighten me as to what exactly you mean by..."
taking some ones money from them they did not earn..."
Let's speak frankly all you seem to do is whine about the government, at least from what I've read. You claim it is "Socialistic". That whine is extremely old and false. And used by many, many Conservatives, because they think it gives them sort of advantage, in a debate. Actually it makes them look ignorant. Are some government programs socialistic, in nature, yes. Obviously Social Security, Medicare and now the ACA. But does that make our economic system "Socialistic", in nature? No. Our economic system is Capitalistic in nature and we have a "Free Market" economy. And so far, our posts have been about business, which falls under the economic category. So clean your act up, define what you're talking about and don't confuse the fact that government programs are "Socialistic", in nature, with the fact we live with a Capitalistic economy.
