And how exactly to do this competing? Working longer hours? Accepting lower pay? Or getting another engineering degree?
ALL of those things and more! Whatever is necessary in the short term while, at the same time, working to straighten out the mess we have allowed our federal government to become.
I would strongly suggest that a good starting point might be insisting that our employees in government get rid of the current communist inspired mess we call a tax code and replace it with something worthy of a free society!
