.......... out of that about 25% went to materials, about 25% went to employee wages, 10% went to workmens comp INS, about 10% went to bonding and liabilty, another 10% went to truck exps and about 10% in new tools. so at the end of the year, what did I end up making? 74k mmm lets see so that means I made... about 17/ hour. A small increase in in one area means I have no choice but to raise prices or cut costs. Now since times are tough I can't really raise prices. so... I have to cut costs... the only cost I have that I can control is wages. This year alone I've let 4 people go, next pay cycle I'm letting 3 more go.
So which would you choose a insurance company that does not allow weapons, or one that does but costs 25% more?
No fun. The vast majority of people have no idea..was that before tax? Iif so that's an 80+ hour week. A normal year being 2,080 hours.
It's hard for independent working people to view themselve as a victim; they are usually about load the wagon and get it done. You are a victim, we all are. Victims of government run rampant with good intentions and plans that can't be carried through.
When you talk about employee wages, I'm certain you meant of that 25% a goodly portion went to medicare/medicaid, social security, etc. It is discouraging when the general public blindly, sheepishly believes that the employer pays part of their social security. If the employee was not working their would be no payment to social security because the employee was not working and producing....not that the employer takes money out of his pocket when someone works for him. If it weren't going from the employer to the social security pyramid scheme it could go from employer to employee via the paycheck.
I understand better where you are coming from...you are fighting the battle of our/your government having the cards stacked against you. It is absolute compliance with the law or you lose it all. Just wait until you have to pay a "fair" tax rate for being rich as well as a corporate tax to make certain you don't avoid paying your fair share by hiding it in your wages....it's on the way.
Socialist demagogues really believe hard-working, independent people are evil. That's the same mindset that goes against established law to inhibit our 2nd Ammendment rights. Strange how it all seems to spring from the well of power, control and ultimate enlightenment.
Do you guys think that Boston could muster only 5 good men for a Tea Party today? Boston seems to have gone the way of demagoguary (sp) and sheep. Sheep who are just trying to get along and continue doing the best they can. The backs of slaves are scarred with the lashes of socialism and fear.
Living with a yoke is not freedom. Either you have the desire to "live free or die" or you don't. Most people don't and that is why they are looked upon with contempt and disdain by their socialists masters. At least free men are feared with the loathing. Sheep march mindlessly to the slaughter content with what they are "given" that was already theirs to start with whilst being herded happily to that slaughter. The shears have already been employed....what is next?
