I looked at what the guy has been up to. I'm the same age. I have a pilot's license. I build embedded systems (design,implement) hardware and software. I lived in Mira Mesa...about 5 miles from Sorrento Electronics. Like you, I've been tempted to go independent as an LLC over the last year. My recently deceased colleague did form an LLC. That served him well as he bid SBIR opportunities.
This guy clearly flipped out. I can understand being stressed. Lots of us are having that problem lately. He really went overboard.
I set up a C-Corp at one time — to qualify on a bid as a subcontractor on a contract to IBM for replacing computer systems for a toll bridge commission. Otherwise I never really used it.
If I was a Section 8 minority — a black woman with a Hispanic surname, say — I would have definitely used a corporate structure. Then I would have done very well in the railroad business, at the least.
Also see my post a few minutes ago about Stark’s screed.
You know what, I am offended by newsfolk calling this guy a “domestic terrorist”. Actually, the IRS are the terrorists. Clearly the man was driven to destruction. He simply snapped. As a born again Christian, I am deeply offended by what Glenn Beck had to say - any of us who are interested in the “birth” issue are a violent fringe element. A little part of the country. I say “ BS”. It’s alot more than a little part of the country. And in addition, he has no right to judge everyone who simply wants to see that their President is Legitimate? For God’s sake? What is so violent about that? I’m puzzled frankly. I watch and tape Glenn everyday but yesterday really disturbed me. He is spending far too much time with O’Reilly who I perceive, actually hates his guts and is jealous of him. O’Reilly is simply using him. But we must remember, Beck is a man, and he will not get everything right. Only Christ was right all the time. CO
