He is a wuss and I hope he retires and gets the hell out of this great land. Because he has NOTHING to complain about compared to our fathers who worked their asses off for NOTHING in comparison to what we get today.
You know who else complained about .gov changes? The employeers when child labor was outlawed.
I know it is terrible how a prostitute that has children just to live off the tit of the government and seemingly nothing is done. But that is MINOR compared to other issues. MINOR compared to how many in this nation who have no access to jobs that even pay 20 thousand a year. Yet work their ASSES off.
You Mr. Boss think you had it bad? Atleast your sorry ass had a dream. A future. Many don't because god forbid they knock up a girl in high school and actually decide not to run away. They get to tear their backs and hands out for the next few decades pushing carts or moving boxes for barely over 15k a year. They don't get to go to sleep dreaming about getting a company and a nice car because the baby needs dipers or the son needs glasses.

I hope you're being sarcastic, Zach, because you couldn't have said something more retarded if you had tried. And for once, I won't qualify that by saying that it is my opinion. It's fact.
Firstly, the man described here is not some corporatist. He's obviously an entrepenuer. I have doubts about the verisimilitude of this particular account, but there are a lot of entepeneurs with stories like this. That doesn't make him a whiner. He did the work and he deserves the return the market gives him based upon his talent, initiative, and work.
Secondly, part of the point the article makes is that he provides a greater benefit than any salary he draws "costs" society. That's true of pretty much every business, unless it is a state-run business. No matter how much you may hate your employer, or someone else's employer, they still pay your sorry ass a wage or salary that you ultimately consider acceptable for the work that you do. If they didn't, you'd go somewhere else. Unless, of course, you had little to no talent or skill, and had no choice, but that's your own fault.
Thirdly, there is not one person in this country who does not have access to a job(relatively close to them), and there certainly isn't one who also pays 20k a year. Obiously you are not aware of the concept of "tax brackets". Let me sum it up for you. For most of my life, I was a nearly worthless laborer who worked in unskilled professions. Actually, I still am, to some degree. However, I have always been entitled to a share of everyone else's earnings because I remained in the lower tax brackets (even lower since I'm a vet). I'm "entitled" to a tax refund because I didn't make that much. I have yet to collect on any tax refund or veterans' benefit and I'm proud of it.
Back OT, pretty much every "poverty-stricken" American has no excuse for their situation. Either they were too stupid to make responsible choices or they are too lazy/stupid to file tax returns or spend their money responsibly.
Fourthly, unions are BS and you're right about that. I took a union job because it pays exceptionally well, and I made sure that I got it in an industry that can't die.
I take advantage of that system every day, and there are millions like me who will continue to do it until it is stopped.
IMO, Zach, you need to stop and think for a bit about the economy and how proper practice of economic principles affects a nation. Moreover, you need to consider incentive. Nobody is going to build a factory or invent some new technology if they don't get a worthwhile return. Believe it or not, most of the population does not consist of hyper-intelligent liberals like yourself. Most of them are stupid people who are also hyper-intelligent liberals that know what is best for everyone, but not as well as you do.
If i had to take a guess, I'd guess that you were a student, which is someone who knows everything and understands nothing. Why don't you come to the real world for a little while and compete for resources with fools who think they are entitled to the fruits of others' labors?
<facepalm> I'm done with this. I'm not a teacher.
@August, perhaps you can frame the idea more clearly?
