    Hard work, determination, and the will to exceed will get you farther every time, not complaining about what other people have!
    You read far more into my statement than necessary. I admire small business owners they are willing to sacrifice a lot to to achieve their rewards I have many friends who own businesses I know how hard they work. I just stated that there are tax advantages for business owners that people who work for a salary don't have. Small businesses are the back bone of our economy as they grow they hire employees and buy equipment to expand putting more people to work to supply their needs and they should have the ability to deduct expenses and depreciate equipment. Please don't criticize those who have chosen a different avenues to make a living,they aren't lazy and don't lack ambition, with out people to do the work a lot of small operations would not be able to flourish and become successful. i worked hard all my life from my early days on the farm and and in factories and almost thirty years in facilities maintenance. everyone from the business owner to the employee contributes to the success of this country and all I want is everybody to pay their fair share and be responsible citizens.

    Just exactly what motivates you to make a nasty comment like that ??

    I do not fall in that category myself but do know many that DO.
    And for most of them it is NOT from lack of trying.

    C'mon Bob, stop being so mean! Running one's own business is all fun and games and big bucks coming in all the time while all the "little people" do all the work, donchano. Just ask them.

    I think that it's too late for "is turning"...

    "Turned"; might be more accurate.

    It may very well be me that ! started this mess, but if you will look back on my posts in this thread, I have yet to comment either way about Global Warming! If fact, this topic has evidently heated up our area enough that our high today will be around 65.........

    However, in the vein of "Thinking Globally and acting Locally" I plan on ryding my Spyder as much as possible to reduce the emissions from my gas guzzling Ford!

    I found your statement about the boss getting a new car to be both offensive, and whiny.

    Do you feel better now?

    Default "Global warming"? or "climate change"?

    I don't usually comment but I think the term "global warming" is misleading and should be referred to as "climate change". Here in Queensland Australia 2017 was the hottest year on record. Recently in the west we have seen 45 deg C and more - that's 113 deg F to you guys. We are all experiencing extremes of weather and for whatever reason I believe we are seeing a change of climate. My opinion only.

    And you thus expose a key betrayal of the whole phony issue! The hustlers originally pushed Global Warming to scare us into accepting their hustle. But when Global Warming quickly disproved itself, the hustlers instantly retired that dying horse and quietly saddled a new one named Climate Change in order to keep the hustle going!
