Are you my twin? We own a sprinkler company - I do the books but don't take a paycheck. I ranted today to a local radio show about Obama's discussion with that plumber.
-- I wish Joe had had the presence of mind to ask Obama if, since he wanted to spread the wealth around, would it be okay to spread the expenses around, as well? Say, have the employees pay part of the work/comp, general liability expenses? Charge them for riding in the company truck? Maybe help get out invoices late at night while trying to help kids with homework.
I knew there had to be a lot of business owners on this forum. You see the world from a whole different perspective when you are responsible for your own living AND the living of the people who work for you. We have to make money to employ people, and we aren’t going to be making money when we keep getting hit so hard on taxes.
