Afterwords, I couldn't help but think back to this kid's masterful prose.

A better employer would have been better at adjusting to the economic environment. You have nobody to blame but yourself for not putting your employees, your firm, and yourself in a better position. After all, that's what you preach right? Survival of the fittest and everyone for themselves. I ask again, why have other firms recovered and you failed?

Because after explaining my situation financially this kid, a demorat who is supposed to care about the middle class, told me to eat shit.

You reap what you sow. You constantly bashed me for my so call "inexperience" and the fact that you pride yourself about being able to start your own business. Your attitude, that your employees "owes you" because without you they would have been jobless, shows no care about them. Now your business is floundering because you are not able to adjust nor manage your finances. Not so easy to boast about your business now, huh?

I'll take my job under someone else over locking my finances in a sinking ship.

But yes I do care about the middle class. My goal is to make enough money so that one day I can start a scholarship foundation for students that need help in paying for college since I too was a recipient of this type of scholarship. I only responded to you that way because that's how you responded to me. Cold, unapproachable, and condescending.

Good luck with your employees in finding a better firm with a better owner who thinks more highly of them. In the end, this may be a blessing in disguise for them.

The idea of free democracy is not to create GOVT programs & create taxes and regulations on every industry.
Social Security (retirment) Govt Program Which is bankrupt
Medicare Govt Program (which is bankrupt)
TSA (airpot security) Govt program (This is a fucking disaster)
Teachers/Police/Fireman/Muni Workers (lifetime pensions) Now bankrupt
American Automobile industry which got bailed out because the Unions made a shitty product but because the Democrats need to bribe more voters.
Banking Industry (completely bankrupt which need bailouts) So why do we have programs like the SEC to oversee an industry that needed an 800 billion dollar bailout.
Head of the FDA a former Monsanto worker
Head of the ex-Treasury Secretary a former Goldman sachs boy

Yes, lobbying is clearly restricted to only Democrats. The Republicans never done such a thing. They don't even have a Super Pac and even if they did, they would have spent less than the Democrats.

Wait, what's that you say? Republicans do the same? And they tend to spend even more than Democrats? Well color me surprised!

My point is not Republican vs Democrat. I believe they are all the same at this point== ONE GIANT PARTY. Obama, Bush, Clinton, Romney are all the same puppets for the Elite. Your freedoms are becoming suffocated through Laws, Regulations, Price & wage control, and massive amounts of DEBT. At this point in history a simple day of life probably costs a minimum of 8 hours of work for the day. You are being taxed for everything you just havent realized it yet.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. 2nd step is making an inventory of your Ayn Rand books and promptly destroying them.

That would take, what, 20 seconds? But I'd have thought that "The Fountainhead" would have had an appreciative audience on this board.
 
No free pass for bad architecture, and no free pass for bad books about architects.
 
Rand's books are important to read and own, not because their philosophies should be implemented, but they provide solid evidence for the flat-out rejection of Randian idealism.
 
Derivative of the 20th c. European "superman" philosophies, repackaged for a consumerist society.

I ask you for a bailout... asshat.
 
^Also, in response to your question all other small/solos are in the same boat. The economy is terrible. I cant tell you how many calls I get every week from people demanding legal services for free. People generally believe that they're entitled to legal services or that somehow I'd be willing to represent them on a contingent basis.

I take back my earlier attempt to seriously answer your question. You have zero background, training or experience that would warrant your lecturing a business owner on his missteps (or lack thereof). The fact of the matter is, the economy is terrible. I hung my own shingle in 2008 and no, it was never a huge money maker but i paid the bills and employed 3 people.

Do you have any idea how hard it is for attorneys to get jobs?

Simply put, you are a naive little twit.

Maybe you shouldn't have entered the legal market then.

And don't lecture me about business when you failed to lead a successful business yourself.

Simply put, I'm only belittling you because you belittled me. It isn't fun having your work marginalized is it? When you come to realize that owning a business is not the only way to measure a person's experience or success, then come talk to me. Otherwise save your breath.

Hey guys....

Chill a bit.

It's all fun and games until we start stalking each other and running people down with our cars.
 
Warren poised to join Senate Banking Committee

http://video.msnbc.msn.com/now-with-alex-wagner/50088845#50088845

Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is likely to head the Senate Banking Committee, much to the chagrin of Wall Street. The NOW panel discusses.

--
Highlights:
- Wall Street contributed $245,400 to the Warren campaign and $3 million to Brown.
- Top Romney donors: GoldmanSachs, BoA, Morgan Stanley, JPMC, and Credit Suisse
- Top Obama donors: UCal, Microsoft, Google, US Gov't, Harvard
- Central theme at play here: Obama wins the makers (industry leaders, true American capitalist productivity), Romney wins the takers (banks, casinos where house always win)

In 2008

Barack Obama (D)

Top Contributors

This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

Because of contribution limits, organizations that bundle together many individual contributions are often among the top donors to presidential candidates. These contributions can come from the organization's members or employees (and their families). The organization may support one candidate, or hedge its bets by supporting multiple candidates. Groups with national networks of donors - like EMILY's List and Club for Growth - make for particularly big bundlers.
