How is George Bush a "criminal" while Joe Biden isn't? Isn't your claim on this the height of hypocrisy itself?


Oh, they are not off the hook for sure...but bush wanted it, he and his administration actively sold it, and waged it...

I probably have a different take on this than you do, because I've been self-employed all my life. When sales slow down, the paychecks stop coming. But I have no unemployment benefits, my bills go on, and we now have a government that expects me to pay not only for my expensive health care but for that of others.


I don't have IBM to take care of me and I don't have a fat pension plan funded by someone else. I don't have a fat inheritance, either. I have what I can accumulate in my lifetime, and the government wants more of it. I have a problem with that to enable lazy assed people to have a permanent vacation for the rest of their lives.


The risks and rewards of self employment I suppose...doesn't change the fact that those who depend on a paycheck sometimes lose the ability to feed their families and are not necessarily bums are you put it.
