You'd have a much different attitude about business people and success if YOU were the one who risked everything you had, put your home and property on the line, spent years working 80 hr work weeks, getting by on almost nothing, paying 10-100-500 employees competitive salaries, great benefits, if you were the one who's business depended on deadlines, production schedules, quotas, 5 and 6 figure leases for property, fleets of vehicles, massive marketing budgets etc etc etc etc etc. With 80% of them grumbling every single day about how unfair everything is, what a crook you are, how you take from the poor to buy your new car and so on.
It's not a shocker that no one can define "fair share" - why subject yourself to strong counterpoints and a reality check? Class warfare at its finest. You don't know what you want and how you're going to get it... you just know you want to take it from those who have more than you.

Not true at all. Also a fyi Ive had my own business since 2000. I Know the people that buy memberships to sites are middle class people for the most part. So if that keeps shrinking it hurts sales. Got to look at the big picture. Chinese dont buy porn memberships. Also Obama isnt a liberal at all, he is a Rockefeller republican. I was called a right wing plant on the daily kos because I disagree. Ive voted for two republican gov's and a republican insurance commissioner every time he ran. The first political campaign I ever worked on was a republican. I voted for Bush the first time. lol Reagan was my first ballot cast. Having a business I have to worry are purchasers of my product are going to have work thats above min wage.
