Wow, now you are questioning whether my employees love me?!?!? How mean spirited of you, but OK, I'll bite. I actually offered to have you come over to my office so I could show you exactly how higher taxes cost jobs. The offer is still open and you can ask my employees if they like me. I suspect you will be very surprised given the very low turnover we have that I am well liked but who knows. Maybe we just pay too well. :-)

I probably spend about 30 minutes of any given day off and on lakemartin.com. I enjoy the banter and like to keep abreast of what is going on at the lake, not to mention skewering you on a regular basis. Keeps the mind sharp. Considering I work about 50 hours per week and set my own agenda and schedule I think a half hour per day is OK, but then again I am the boss. I even sneak out and play golf every once in a while and go flying in my airplane. Only wish I had access to government jets like Nancy Pelosi but there is a certain satisfaction to flying yourself around. Considering we have grown from just me to over 300 employees in offices across the US and Canada and with revenues approaching $40M I will take my own counsel as to how I spend my time.

As I have told you several times before my wife for the U.S. government (EPA Region 4) for 9 years. In my job I work daily and weekly with state and federal employees all over the country and internationally. So I sure as heck know exactly what government employees do. You however, as a career bureaucrat don't seem to have a clue about the business world. I try to educate you but I am a conservative so what I say doesn't seem to penetrate your ideologically driven mind.

Hound, you just don't like it that I have such a command of facts and an understanding of history and that almost every one of my pre-election predictions about the Messiah are coming true and are even worse than I had feared. Some day you may lose your pride and admit your vote was wrong......or maybe not.....either way my opposition to BO is looking more prescient every day. Well, I better get back to work so I can one day gain Hound's approval for how I spend my time.
