To be resentful of a business owner for being able to enjoy the fruits of his work doesn't make sense to me.

Most businesses fail. And the guys who took the risk end up screwed. If you think it's easy...then go do it yourself and then YOU can drive home in YOUR Lamborghini.

Or maybe you prefer the security and safety of a weekly paycheck. And then having the luxury of working "business hours" and then shutting down.

Me? I work all hours. I work holidays, I work on my birthday. I work a little on Christmas. When I'm out having a beer on the weekend I have my smart phone and I do some work and handle any emergencies/support problems.

That is what a business OWNER does. An employee doesn't have to worry about the overall picture. He gets off after work and is DONE until the next work day. His weekends are his. He doesn't have to put in matching funds (the govt. double dipping) for his employees social security. He doesn't have to write a big tax check to the govt. every quarter.

It goes on and on and on.

Just go start your OWN business and quickly find out how tough that can be.
