As a matter of fact, you do. And now and in return you pay taxes to fund your schools which is educating the future crop of employees and business owners - and (gasp!) future politicians.

It's not the shipping clerk that goes out and signs the loans, taking all the risks. The big difference is that anyone employed here could leave tomorrow and start a new job. The owner, has everything at stake. It's a difficult concept to describe to people that haven't done it.And often,it's a major league burden to maintain.
The difference is at the end of the day you drive home in your Lambo to your big house while your shipping clerk drives home in a six year old car and invests his entire paycheck into new tires for his car while wondering how he's going to get his kid's teeth fixed. You spend your weekend with your buddies on road trips who think nothing of putting gas into a car that gets 10 mpg, while your janitor freaks out when it costs him $40 to fill his tank for the week and then worries about how he's going afford gas for the rest of the month.
