I’ll have to go with Ron White on this one: “You can’t fix stupid.”
All you can do is try to find a way to be successful in a society whose government is always going to play to the whims of the stupid.
Successful small business owners are people with the ability to see a little further then the herd. One of the critical success factors is to develop an immunity to the resentments that will inevitably be flung at you by politicians and the employee caste, alike. Don’t waste time seeking public approval or sympathy - as many failed business owners do - just adapt and execute.
They need you - and because of that, they will never like you.
Wow.
