A. Try to start a business in Chad
B. Try to start a business in America.
In which situation do you believe you have a greater chance at success?

It depends what your business is. If you are in the aircraft import business in Chad and manage to have a monopoly then I would say that you have a better shot at being successful there then in the US...

No, actually from my point of view it is your stubborn, hardheaded insistence that you are right and I am wrong as you intermittently hit on the point yet still miss it that is funny. You simply refuse to "get it", I can live with that, I really can't understand why one would ignore the obvious . . . but then again, one needs to open their eyes to see . . . good luck with your business and I will continue to pay taxes and hopefully the roads you travel to conduct that business, that we have all paid for, will continue to be maintained so your business can thrive.

Open ones eyes? When you have experienced building a business from the ground up, you can then lecture me on the experience, not before.
I agree we all start with level playing field, after that it's individual effort, that's the part where you have no fricken idea what you speak of.
The only reason my business thrived, was because I put in the hard work to make it thrive, not because I pay taxes like everyone else and utilize what my taxes pay for.
I'm no longer self employed pinhead. Twenty five + years of self employment and I got an offer I couldn't refuse.
Thanks for participating, I gave you a participation ribbon above.
Merry Christmas Huckster.

I find your disagreement with this post both hilarious and also consistent with your position.

Still don't get it eh?
Still sticking steadfastly to your interpretation of what I am commenting on?
Just can't get past that this isn't about the nuts and bolts of building a business, never was, but about the support around you our country has provided to even give you the opportunity to work your ass off?
That's Ok, I know it's hard seeing outside your blinders, and those blinders helped make you what you are today and most likely helped you focus on the job at hand.
Three cheers for Lion! Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoorah!
Good lucking all you do and Merry Christmas!

I have worked since I was 11, (really my first memories at 4 or 5 were doing chores, feeding the horses, cleaning the stalls, riding fence, running the tractor when I was big enough, chopping firewood, tending the gardens, picking avocados for one neighbor, picking fruit from another, running the horses, walking (cooling down) the horses, mending tack, shall I go on?) in one way or another and yes have been involved in several businesses between myself, my mother, my brother, a couple good friends and then got an offer I couldn't pass up myself . . . so get off of your high horse, all I have known is work and it's not made me bitter, has it?

Congratulations for being a hard worker.
Never said anything to the contrary.
I'm involved in a business now. I didn't start the business, but one reason I was hired was my experience at what it takes to start & run a successful business.
My high horse was Arabian, not that tall really. We have registered Paints now. Not that tall either.
I 've awarded you another participation ribbon.
Merry Christmas Huckster.

My son got a participation medal once, we threw it in the dumpster at the field for all to see. First of course I explained to him that trying is better than not, but that only winners get sprinkles on their ice cream.
As a kid I always saw things like the boy scouts as something for kids with weak, neglectful or absent parents or kids with no family . . . I did all those things with my dad or my brother or an uncle . . . a medal for being able to tie a knot instead if a pat on the back. There is a reason for things and they are hard to see from the other side of the fence, but they are there and aren't all for 'knot'.

I get 5 to 10 e-mails daily from the great state of Texas some showing the same kinda thing . . . usually accompanied by something about global warming and snowballs and the like. Was that your point? or is it just a cool picture?
 
Is it that amazing that winter seems to come around once a year about this time? . . . maybe we need a picture of some nice coral reef bleaching . . .
