How current!
The son of friends has a small concrete contracting business. He has survived because the stimulus (American Recovery Act/ARA) had money available to all municipalities to repair and to add sidewalks.He pretty much cornered the entire market, locally, by honest, but low, bids to the little towns and villages in our area.
He is in his thirties and hates zerO, the donks, liberals and progressives. He has worked all his life, starting at age 12 on and off the farm and sees taking these contracts as getting back some of the taxes he and his sibling and parents have paid.
Now if it stayed his money in the first place...
Government always has a way to bring the greed out in us all.
