Exactly right. I don't know of any business where money just blows in the window in piles, either. Unless it's illegitimate money coming in. If that is the case, I can't speak to it....Never had any experience with money under the table, so to speak. I think by in large, that most business today is pretty legit....the large business has tons of reporting and in many cases, in house government auditors who have an office INSIDE the company itself. I know that they do for many of the aviation businesses....Probably the oil big business as well. Most people, I've found, have NO concept of the cost of doing business, and many of those same people actually think that profit for companies is over 50%...!!! If you doubt that, try asking some people you know, ESPECIALLY those who have never had their own business, or worked for a company, what they think the profit of a company is.... The answers will simply amaze you. I know they have me!
