You know, I gotta find a business where I can buy something for a dollar, mark it up 33 cents, and resell it, with the 33 cents markup being all profit - no other costs of doing business. Twenty-five percent profit without adding any value whatsoever!!! LOL.Actually, if you look at his example, the 33% "profit margin" was net profit. Somehow these businesses were able to know their profits and how much they would pay in taxes before they sold any goods.
Dear Your Nightmare,
Look, I'm still amazed at a business model where you buy something for a buck, add 33 cents to the price, incur no other costs, perform no other work, and walk away with the 33 cents.
LOL!!
I'm sure the CEOs of all the corporations in America would like to know how to do that, too, as the average corporate pre-tax profit in the US is only about 6%. And that's for businesses that are even TAXABLE for corporate federal income taxes - most small businesses (which are MOST BUSINESSES, and which represent nearly half the economy) aren't even liable for corporate federal income taxes. And most of them work damned hard to make even that amount of profit.
