What makes you think democrats can't be business owners?



Can't imagine why you asked such a stupid question.

Thread intent translation : Whaaaaaa I'm a conservative who pays a lot of taxes...whaaaaa. You dems cannot run small businesses because of all the taxes you create...whaaaaaaa.

Best job I ever had was a small company of about 24 people and we had a lefty boss. He was successful and we were very happy working for him. Actually it was the closest in wage disparity I have ever had in a job between what low guy and owner made. Political leanings I think have no effect on small business. Large business much different story. Now being a union guy the right wing way of running businesses can kiss my ass.

Looks like Mike answered your question, Barbara.

I like how the same people who will point out how wealthy so many Liberals are, will then claim Liberals can't effectively run a business or manage money.

Yeah, I know; "They don't get irony."

I am proud and very happy to announce that my company will be celebrating our 21st anniversary tomorrow. More than half the people have been with me for well over 15 years. I work just as hard for their paycheck as I work for mine. As a small business, this is a collective enterprise with a horizontal organization. In fact, I've never had a private office.

Yeah but you used to be a fanboy of the Canuckistan Conservative Party.

I figured I should drop by for a visit, as you guys can't even keep your country running. Us Canucks are beating you guys in every major statistic, except for gun violence. And we all have health care.

Otherwise doing well. Tired of the other place tho.

Actually, I am a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. Always an interesting choice in naming...

And how about you, Yankee?

Yeh but you are a conservative Democrat, Raj.
