I have had liberals tell me that, at a businessman, I made my living by cheating others. That is their view of business.

To them, life is a zero sum game. If you have something, you obviously took it from someone else.

Unfortunately many people, especially younger ones, do not understand anything about business. Public schools and labor unions spread what you describe all the time.

Yep, that is exactly how these idiots think. The company I work for used to make all their own tooling. Now, we contract most of it out. One of the suppliers I work with used to have a small, family owned shop that employed three family members and worked out of their garage. We helped him build a business that bought an abandoned church which now employs 30.

About three years ago, I encouraged the owner to expand his customer base because we were the vast majority of his business and I told him that wasn't healthy. As a result, his business is still humming along even though we have hit a rough spot. Three years ago, we were about 80% of his business; today we are less than 20% because he took my advice.

I'm happy because we still have a financially viable and healthy supplier. He is happy because he has a much broader client base. It is what we call a win-win in business. Libtards never understand this.

Yes, I could have been a jerk and put him out of business, but he understands I did the right thing out of our mutual self-interests.

So true! My husband’s art school roommate told my husband that business is “organized crime”. They are clueless.
