And the Government said, "Give me your money or I'm gonna blow your head off."

OK so I'm an arrogant prick. Some of you reading this know I am, some of you don't, but all and all anyone spending more than a day or so with me with my guard down knows I think I'm better than most of the sheeple on this planet, and knows I'm willing to prove it day in and day out.

So what, right!?

Well I'll get to that, but let me first tell you why I feel free to write a scathing commentary on the arrogance of the progressives, that includes liberals and monotheist alike, while admitting I think myself better than the people I'm writing about.

Skip this part if you don't want to read my resume as to why I'm arrogant -

*************************************************************************************

To start off with, 6 years ago I was (as many of you folks have heard before) a broke single father making less than 1000 bucks a month and living in a home that was being foreclosed on. Now, 6 short years later, I have a thriving business that will likely do 2-2.5 million in sales it's 1st full calendar year (Rach and I started the business in Nov, 2008 with $1000.) I was looking for 5 million in sales, but it seems I may fall a bit short the first year.

Money doesn't matter huh? OK fine, how 'bout relationships. My wif, Rachel, and I are head over heels in love with each other. Sure we grumble occasionally, but those times are few and short lived, and the fact is we are IN LOVE, even after 5.5 years of marriage, 7.5 years of being together.

Now for those of you who know me on a more personal level, this marital bliss is a relatively new development, about 1.5 yrs - 2 yrs. Of course, when you put 2 people together who are used to controlling....no dominating their relationships to the point all previous ones fell apart, in part, because they never had any respect for previous partners, you're bound to have a few years of turmoil.

Anyway, we found the balance point and now it's marital bliss. And we had to WORK for it. We were both willing to do the work, something most people aren't. So we both feel superior, and well we should.

(ADD MOMENT: I re-connected with an old college buddy this weekend. While talking about our wives, I mentioned marital bliss. He said "there is no marital bliss" I said, "there is in my house, but you know I've never settled for anything in my life.)

Marriage not good enough for you, OK how 'bout personal relationships. Many of you know a few years ago I had a blow up with a number of close friends, indeed we were all part of the same "church" (horrible word to use but I don't have time or desire to get into the specifics of the structure of the religious institution I was part of.)

When that happened I dropped some people from my life. Others just kind of fell away for one reason or another.

Now a short 18-24 months later (interesting how it coincided with my marital bliss) the folks who I missed the most are back. Interestingly enough, they are also the ones who cleave to the same belief I do. Mainly self-responsibility. They also expect others to do the same. Hmmm.....

OK so in short, I have attracted back the cream of the crop of the people I had this type of relationship with. Says something about me. At least it does to me. Basically I have the respect of people whom I respect. Something few people can boast.

This is true as well of professional relationships I have. But I don't want to explore that tangent just now because it could be construed by some people who may read this as an endorsement by the people who I have the business relationship with, and that would be in appropriate without first garnering their express permission.

OK, so you're a more spiritual cat, not really interested in the profane or mundane? Well first if that's true I don't consider you to be very spiritual, but OK.

Several years ago I started on a "spiritual path" that venerated my ancestors. Since then, those ancestors have weaved Wyrd (if you don't know look it up. Google) and luck in my life to constantly help me succeed in my 'struggle' to better myself and my station in life for me and my family.

And after all, if all your spiritual 'stuff' doesn't amount to anything real, just a tendency to talk in riddles and act superior with no support for that superiority, then what good is it anyway?

[the less spiritually inclined reading this can read the preceding paragraph as follows:

After realizing the importance of venerating my ancestors, I focused in on the lessons I could learn from the memories of the family I knew who had passed, and I studied my ancient ancestors to learn their ethical and social beliefs.

I then applied those beliefs as much as possible in life and low and behold I straightened my life out and indeed I have thrived.]

Don't care about that? Well I work harder than a vast majority of the world (6-7 days a week). Not physical work, skilled work. But hard work none the less. My discipline and work ethic support my feeling of superiority over the masses.

Disagree? Well how 'bout reading. I used to read an average of 2.5 books per week. Now that it's not as critical to my business, I still read about 3 books per month. Plus magazines, newspapers and online news, etc.

So what? OK fine, I have a personal philosophy. Something most people in the world haven't spend the time or energy to specifically craft. I have, and the fact that I have taken the time and effort when most won't, supports my belief.

Still don't agree, OK FUCK OFF!!

The fact is my arrogance is supported by numerous FACTS, not just a vague sense of being better than the "money getters" because they're profane.

*************************************************************************************

OK so this nitwit on the business shows I watch was on a panel discussing health care reform. Now for those of you who don't know, my idea of health care reform is get the damned government out of it. But that's for another post.

This nit wit says, in relation to drug companies patents being shortened, "There were 2 things the drug companies were scared about, people importing drugs from Canada, and then importing the Canadian price controls, and the government using it's massive buying power to reduce costs. Neither one are going to happen. The drug companies have to be willing to give something back."

What in the blue hell is this arrogant little ivy league fuck talking about. Because the government isn't going to STEAL the drug companies profits (THAT RIGHT I SAID STEAL, OR AT LEAST MAKE LEGAL OTHER PEOPLE STEALING THE PROFITS) the drug companies have to be willing to give up something.

This is like a being governed by the mob. "Look here, we aren't going to rip your place apart and roust your customers but you have to be willing to give something up."

FUCK THIS TWIT AND FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!!! That's right I wrote it, I said it, and I mean it. And if some weaselly little shit wants to report me to the White House, here's the link... prick (www.Whitehouse.gov).

This little socialist fuck really believes that the drug companies owe the government because the government ALLOWED them to keep their profits.

(I should point out I have no love for the drug companies. If this guy would've said the drug companies need to give up something because for decades much of their research they've been making billions on has been government funded, OK I could live with that-though I would point out we should get the government out of the business of funding research.)

If I came to you and said, I won't steal all your valuables from you, but in return you have to give me something, you'd likely tell me to go pound salt, and rightfully so. But this is EXACTLY what this guy was saying about the drug companies.

And as if that wasn't bad enough, when the talk came around to the effect on R and D if they reduced the time a drug patent was in place, this weaselly little, no nothing no experience college boy says "It won't hurt R and D because they still need to come up with something to make and sell to their customers."

FUCK YOU, YOU TWIT!!!!!!

No, they don't have to. They can just shut down and go home with their billions, or they can fire their R and D staff and just sell the drugs they have, or they can just wait for other drugs to go generic and make them cheaper, or they can do 1000 other things.

This guy really believes the government not only has the right, but truly can do whatever, take whatever, and control whatever they want. I got news for ya, it can't.

The power of government is the power to destroy.

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

The underlying belief in this world that somehow government (or religion) can solve anything is just plain STUPID. That's right if you look to the government for anything, you're just plain STUPID.

I learned it the hard way.

You mark my words, left unchecked, these dumb fucks are going to keep leaning on producers, keep leaning on business, and eventually we'll stop producing, we'll stop doing business.

Watch what happens the day the government comes and tells me I have to unionize because I opened a branch in a union state. I just hope I have enough people working for me at that point, in that state, to have an effect on the local economy.

(I don't have any problem with employees entering into a collective bargaining agreement with employers, I do have a problem with the government stepping in and forcing employers to pay certain wages, give certain benefits, etc. the government decides are reasonable, Like I said FTG!)

My company, my rules. Any employee is 100% able and encouraged to start their own business, but as long as they work for me, they work under my rules. I try hard to be fair and equitable and a good boss, but ultimately it's my party!

And I may not be able to do business without having a significant amount of my money STOLEN by the feds, but when I decide you've taken too much, I damned sure can stop producing. You can force your way into my profits, but you can't force me to make any profit you fucking assholes.

And when the time comes, and I have a feeling it is, I will gladly, quickly and joyously tell you, your government services that are unConstitutional, and your arrogant "better than you" sneers to go fuck off.

Try and collect taxes when there's no commerce. HA!

And since small and medium sized businesses create 90%+ of the jobs in the country, what will you do when enough of us say "Take This Tax And Shove It"?

If you push us too far, what will you do when Atlas does shrug?

I know what you'll do, you'll ease off enough to get some of us back in the mix. You'll stop stealing quite so much of our money and you'll look to us to save you again, like we always do - you worthless Government hacks.

And we rarely hold grudges and creation is in our blood, it's part of our soul, so enough of us will come back, for our own reasons. Not to save you, but to fulfill ourselves. And you will again have a host to leech off of.

How I wish the producers of the world would get fed up and truly stop...truly go on strike. And we would see how well you weaselly government morons can do without us.

Free Yourself

PS. BTW, the rich aren't automatically producers. Many Many rich people became rich by sucking the government tit. These looters are just as guilty as the destroyers in government.
