Are you not claiming that you refuse work because you don't want anyone else to get any of your profit?
LOL! No, I never claimed that. Although people on this forum have made up so many straw men to knock down against me it would be understandable.
My point is that government regulation, confiscatory tax law and complete overspending have tempered what I want to do in life. Instead of building a real estate business I decided to create several smaller businesses and have much more free time to do more of whatever else I want to do.
So, a year and a half ago, buck started calling me a liar and every other name in the book in regards to me starting a business/businesses. I just like to report from time to time how well I am doing just to stick it in his ass..
If congress does not collectively pull it's head out of it's ass, capital gains rates will go from 15% to 43%. I have a serious belief that Obama does not believe in private equity and feels that government should pick and choose companies worthy of loans and grants. If he manages to get the capital gains rate jacked up it will help push investors into other income streams and make small business starved for loans. Of course, if the government issues the loans it can issue them with strings attached. Just another giant happy social program from central command...
And BTW, I fully intend to pay whatever taxes I am required to do so. And I bet it will be quite a bit more than Captain Treadmill Buck Obama...
