I own a national environmental consulting company with offices in the U.S. and Canada. Quit a nice corporate job with a national firm 10 years ago to start the business with just me in my basement office. Grew pretty well until 2000 when I took a partner and since then we have started several very successful businesses related to the environment. Revenues are approaching $40M and we were listed on the Inc 500 list of privately held firms for three years of our history.

It's very frustrating dealing with people who don't understand what it takes to do what we've done, the work, worry and risks. All they see is the end result and devolve the discussion to class envy. I grew up in a middle class home in SW Pennsylvania (my Dad never made more than $36K per year in his life). Borrowed money and worked for college and grad school (the only one in may family with a college degree). And then left a six figure job to start out on my own.

I say all this because people like Hound can't understand my distaste for unnecessary taxation and overly intrusive government. I recognize government has a role to play but we have gone so far above and beyond what the founding fathers ever intended.
