MM, believe it or not, I've actually seen it negotiated successfully -TWICE. Once when a foreign company bought out a US company, and once when a man who had started a company sold his company and retired. It can be done. And these are 10 experienced people -- not just some unskilled workers, who have a value added to the business. They are every bit an "asset" of the business.

Actually, I think I can understand, at least in part, about what it would be like to grow a business from nothing into something, without having actually done it. And I think I can understand what it is like to have a small staff that you care about as people. I see my BIL, who has his own law practice struggle with this. I've seen him worry about his long time clients.

You know, I understand more than I say about the frustrations of taxes. You feel like you are trying to contribute something to the economy and the government is taking your incentive. But, the government runs on taxes. It doesn't just go for regulator's salaries. I pay more in taxes a year than some people earn in a year. And it ticks me off to see it squandered by the government. One of my personal pet peeves is the $$$ that Carter negotiated for us to give to Israel and Egypt, not to fight anymore. Billions a year. And for what?
But, you can't just complain about it. You have to have a plan to propose to fix it.
One of the biggest revelations to me when I moved from the "field" to Washington is that the closer you get to the problem, the less insight you have in what the problem really is.
