benz, I am clueless as to what you do for a living, but let's say that the area you're in is one with high unemployment, and you decide, hey, I can cut the wages of my employees in half and they can't do a thing about it. Maybe you're not like that, but others are.

I would have cared . You are not happy, are you . Angry about not being able to keep all your money and yet - you still live here.

You can do better - go live where there is no regulation and sell your cars .. maybe like in Dubai .. of course there are other expenses there, - Big Ones - but then, perhaps you will be able to appreciate the opportunity you have been given to be here in America and to pay taxes , or - you could go do business in Mexico or S. America .. oh ... oooops .. I forgot , not many people have the money to buy stuff there .. Well, then Canada, England , France .. oh .........ooops again .. you would pay more taxes .. and btw .. I just read this morning that the richest people - the top 25 do not live here except for Buffet - take a look at where they live ..

By offering jobs to motivated people. By providing a service that people want and need..By paying payroll tax, medicare tax, workmans comp tax, real estate tax, by providing health care benefits.

No one asked you to. Go somewhere else... Try El Salvador. Or does it take the nation that the rest of us build, work in, and support for you to get what you have? Are we important or is it just the mighty you?

"No one would have cared."

That's what I was alluding to in the last post. The problems are more than just taxes and fairness. It's this cutthroat atmosphere that exists here.
