[quote]I only see 1 person posting 5 times in a row one time, 6 in another...[/quote] Well the quotes don't automatically include people's user names, so this is how I respond to 5 or 6 different posts. I don't want to ignore any questions. And I'm working on something right now, so I can't be on the forum 24/7, so I guess that means I am in "burst mode". [e digicons]:D[/e]

[quote]Successful executives , along with sharply defined business skills also practice temperance, humilty, rationality, empathy et cetera, et cetera.[/quote] Really? How many billionaires do you know? Would your description apply to Ruper Murdoch for example? JP Morgan? Regardless, if you knew me personally, you'd know just how massively off base you are with claiming I'm not as you describe. My posts have been about our nation having empathy

[quote]Since when did this post become a 'Mine is bigger than yours' and[/quote] Brad took it there and I've been trying to end it. I finally responded as carefully and balanced as I could and it's just spiralled out as those pissing contests always do. Sigh. [quote]'I'm right and the rest of you are idiots'? [/quote] I don't believe I have insulted anyone here. At least I've been really, really trying to keep my end of things civil.

Thanks to everyone who hates me! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Regardless, as I said before, the "everyone thinks" argument is fallacious and poor debate tactics. You have no idea how many private responses I am getting regarding this thread. 1 or a 100. Nor does it

[quote]The fundamental problem with Republicans and Democrats is that they both back a concentration of power. The Democrats prefer the government and the Republicans prefer big business. Neither should be trusted[/quote] With that I agree with you 100%.

[quote]while Excalpius may claim to have worked for several companies that made lots of money, t[/quote] Actually, I have worked for, created, built, owned, and have bought and sold many companies over the course of 25 years as a businessman. For some reason, people think I am a younger because I remain an idealist. I'm actually older than Brad and Island Dog if their profile ages are accurate.

[quote]1. I want you to explain why 435 people in congress are better qualified to spend that money than I, who earned it, am. [/quote] Um, I shouldn't have to explain that THIS is our system of government. If you want complete laissez fair capitalism, you might want to try moving operations to Russia. Ironic isn't it? Regardless, I believe the next administration will be better than the last, and will guide the congress better than the past. I bel

Frogboy, you spent a lot of time making assumptions and listing off business 101 issues. I don't feel this thread is about teaching everyone about business affairs, etc. etc. But to make things crystal clear... I have built LLCs (like the one in November), S-Corps, and C-Corps. I have been the founder/President/CEO handling day-to-day operations for most of them. I've been the Chairman of the Board for more than one. Some of these companies have come and go

Until such time, they are the me me me - with your money.[/quote] They can't do any worse with our money than the GOP has over the past 8 years. I believe they will handle it sanely with an eye on everyone's needs, not just their rich friends and patrons. And if they don't they I will be one to call them out. But based on what they do or don't do, not based on your fears of

So weak.[/quote] The post you are quoting from has nothing to do with my specific positions on economic matters, only in answering Brad's question regarding my bona fides.
