fucker, with all the burdens that are placed on a business no wonder he can’t save.

people who resent business and think businesses should be taxed more “because capitalism” should try making a living off one. IT IS VERY FUCKING HARD.

there are no limits on the hours. there is no guaranteed paychek. there are no sick days or paid vacation. no overtime. nothing.

everyone wants a piece of you: the customer who thinks you’re their personal minion. the employee who wants to play candy crush at work but still gets paid. the government who wants you to collect taxes for them. the accountants lawyers and insurance people you have to pay because of all the reporting, licenses, permits and other burdens that are placed on your activity. the notion that suddenly because you need some labor you need to become mother and father and health insurance provider and old age caretaker to the seller of said labor.

“but greed...”

“but excess profits...”

motherfucker... if you knew how hard it is to squeeze a profit and how far from guaranteed it is...
