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. 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.
“but greed...”
“but excess profits...”
motherfucker... if you knew how hard it is to squeeze a profit and how far from guaranteed it is...

Where have I said I'm anti business? Not once have I said that or even implied it cos trust I'm not. I respect the guy who can go out and start a business and make a success out of it. What I am against is corporations doing every single thing to save a dollar, screw over as many people as possible and all just to appease the shareholders for a few extra pennies. You can actually be ethical and own business, you get that right? Or do the rules go out the window when you're Amazon or Apple?
Besides my comment was more a dig at how completely blinkered you are to people who are struggling and living wage to wage. "Just save your money! Put it in a pension!" Good advice. Might as well tell them to pull a million quid out their ass next.
And funny you should say I should start my business because I did as a decorator. But y'know, why let the facts get in the way of a good rant. The more you talk the more I'm baffled at how you can be so anti-Trump when the fact is everything he's done in business is right up your alley.
