Joe "The Plumber" is like a lot of my old bosses
I had one back in the late 80's who didn't think he should provide health insurance for his employees and that we should all only make $7 an hour. Even though he himself was worth $3.5 million according to an article in our local paper, he told us all (his employees) that we too could own a large ranch and mansion like he had and go on hunting trips and safaris around the world if we would all just learn how to budget our $280 a week paychecks and quit spending it all on beer.

2. Exactly
I own my business and I'll never see $250k in my life time.

I'm glad you're speaking to me again too :hi: :hug:

4. "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt"
It's not that they don't know, it's that everything they think they know is wrong.

I've yet to meet one of these assholes that considers that they could make their money because of all the "socialist" things that make this nation.
