Re: “Yes, I guess any one who believes they have a right to run their business where they do not have to take a job on the side to eat chooses to be criminal.”

Sorry, I have no idea what your Comment means.

Rubashkin’s business was failing.

He had three lawful choices. Close it. Fix it. Or find another job.

Unfortunately, Rubashkin did not want to give up his affluent lifestyle or give up the independence of being a business owner.

But of course if he borrowed it from you I can see where
you would be pretty sore.
