I grew into my opinions. I'm self-employed and run my own business, I started doing that because I resented working for bosses who did very little (if any) work and made their entire living from my labour....So I saved up, Learned a trade and started a company. Now I earn more in a day's work than most people do in a week.

I did the same. Fair play to you.

Here's where our paths separated............

I want to work hard, save my money, buy assets and provide for my family with the money I earned being less lazy and entitled than the very employees you mention. Bosses that do very little. Business owners that make tons of money from the little mans back.

YOU want to give them a free ride. No job because you were fired for being shit? Here, have a hand out. Refuse to a get a job because you say you're depressed? Here, have a hand out.

I want MY money to go to ME with a certain amount in taxes to contribute to the society we all use.

YOU want your money to go to the same feckless fuckers you refuse to work for in the first place.

I just don't get it.
