i made no comparison of the two.

I just dont like the idea of running my business all day from 7:30 this morning until now (still at the office as of 9:50pm) just so i could have my money taken from me and given to some welfare kids "gold rim" & "420" fund while he "attends" the city college and cant even pronounce "tranquility" in his "gumment class" text book.

kids these days are ignorant... and your punishment for being a hard working member of society will be that you will have to work all day to pay for their free ride through life.

...how is calling our situation a "socialist political agenda" one minute and then saying, in concordance with Oberon's poster regarding Communism, that "Thats today" not a related statement? You were confusing the two, first saying we're being Socialistic, then we're being Communists. There's a difference, so which is it? Which one are we more of?

I should hope then you refused government loans when you started your business and didn't accept any financial help from them whatsoever... because that's basically how all these government programs are funded: through taxes. If you don't like the taxes, I suggest you either move to another state or leave the country to someplace that better suites your tastes, whichever is more convenient.

Oh the irony of this puffery'd generalization.

And, you know, the public roadways you and everybody else uses, transportation, the military that's there to defend you and the country you live in... I think you can tell where I'm going. If you're successful/lucky enough to own a business, then you can afford to live with higher taxes anyway. If you can't/couldn't, it probably wasn't a good idea to start one in the first place- indulge/endeavor in something that was beyond your means.

Correct.

I paid cash for my current assets (approximately $48,000) and financed the remaining $12,000 ish through my local bank.

uncle sam didnt have squat to do with it.

I dont mind paying taxes for those things... i DO MIND forced philanthropy... there is a difference between supporting your community through taxes which contribute to roads, parks, police etc and paying taxes which support pookie's sedentary lifestyle and crack addiction

im very middle class... im no millionaire, but i despise the individuals who leech off the hind tit of society... something tells me you would rather we had more people like that.

As has been pointed out before, you do accept government financial aid.
As has also been pointed out before, you really should get a decent accountant and a better understanding of taxes.

please explain how i borrowed government money or received government grants in any way to start a business.

since you would obviously know my business.

besides even if i did receive a government grant, i used it for a constructive purpose. unlike some folks who blow it on alcohol and sit out on the porch all day getting hammered. lol
