You obviously have never owned a small business.

I own a small computer company that employs five people. After 6 PM when the other employees go home, I’m still here vacuuming the carpets, emptying the trash cans, washing counters; etc. When the dust settles I have a couple of employees that actually make more than I do.

I suggest a class in economics for you - or it’s time for you to leave Mommy’a basement.

It is interesting that people who have never tried starting up their own business who make the assumption that it is easy and people are making lots of money. How do they know? Are they sneaking in and looking over the books at night?

When I was working in our family business turning rough wood into finished products like paneling and siding, I had to work for 24 hours straight to get orders out on time on many occasions. I once was up for 36 hours straight trying to get a big order out. I was having a hard time staying awake while feeding wood through heavy machinery. Do you think that I got paid extra for doing that? No, the business eventually failed despite my best efforts, thanks largely to the economic miracle created by the Carter administration.
