Creed of The Self-Employed
BRIEF AND TO THE POINT Offer Upgrade User ID: 381742 United States 04/08/2009 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Creed of The Self-Employed I do not choose to be a common person. It is my right to be uncommon- If I can. I seek opportunity-not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen,humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk;To dream and to build;To fail and succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;The thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. Will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect,proud and unafraid;To think and act for myself;To enjoy the benefits of my creations;And to face the world boldly and say,this I have done. All this is what it means to be self-employed. Last Edited by BRIEF AND TO THE POINT on 04/08/2009 09:07 AM Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

Wouldn't have it any other way. Seldom hire anyone to help. Crawled under an old ranch house yesterday to replace a non-draining pipe, feels good to still do "hard" work. I trade the checks for lawful money at the bank and nobody takes any for taxes. Learn any and all the trades if you want security. Don't believe anything, only know it.
