What logic of mine led you to smear small business owners as fat cats?Liberals claim to be business owners yet they think its as easy as putting a sign over the door and raking in the moneyI would not expect a liberal to understand free enterpriseEssential typically means necessary for survival today. Essential does not mean necessary to retire to an acreage in 15 years.Non essential to who?I've always been attracted to the upper quintile, albeit them usually being social outcasts , and what i've noted is they may be God's in whatever they do best, but often lack the simple down to earth common sense to apply it toward the rest of their existence
~S~But you cant have it both waysKind of like what they did in 2008, where all the working folks got kind of screwed.Consider it the government paying you to STAY HOME, just as we paid soldiers to go overseas and fight Nazi's in foreign countries in World War III guess it's nice to be considered 'essential' then....As I said before, the ESSENTIAL SERVICES ECONOMY IS BOOMING RIGHT NOW. Its never been a better time to be employed in the production and distribution of FOOD and MEDICINE!
like me> non essential, & wanting to work?Remember unemployed people
Grand, take a few months of w/out paySomeone temporarily losing their non-essential service job is nothing compared to the disaster that is happening in hospitals across the country, especially New York City.
and get back to us then

Sorry, but killing people to open up your non-essential job is not worth it for the country. STAY HOME AND SAVE LIVES! The country is at war with a PATHOGEN and people going to work in their non-essential business's provide the pathogen with a means to spread and kill more people.
There are homeless people out there in worse shape than these people at home from their non-essential business's. Don't aid the enemy, STAY HOME! This is a national effort to defeat the pathogen.
if your economic future depends on a small business that you built from the ground up its very essential to you
there are a lot of odd ducks on this forum who are retired or foreigners, or in some other way not part of the regular economy to begin with
but they dont represent most Americans
libs tend to be students, government workers, cogs in a giant corporation or welfare bums
Not on USMB. They all seem to be business owners, work from home, independently wealthy, or early retired. I don't recall meeting one liberal on here that is a blue collar worker.
There’s a lot of prejudice against liberals. I’ve been told many times by USMB members that I cannot be successful simply because I have liberal political views.
I'm just giving my observation. I've been here almost five years, and have been in other forums before this one. It's like that everywhere I go. Every liberal is at least college educated. Every liberal has a business or is independently wealthy, or early retired because they made so much money in life. Me??? I'm the only truck driver in the place.
Why don't I believe it? Because I do know "real" wealthy people and business owners, and very few are for Democrat plans of ridiculous taxation, tons of business regulations, more government control of businesses, and a high national minimum wage. These are things the poor usually embrace.
they are cluelessI wrote:I wasn’t smearing a group. I was attacking your logic. You don’t speak for all small business owners. Or did I miss the vote making you the spokesman?You were being very lib pc by smearing a group that liberals detestI am reacting to your opening comment about retiring in 15 years to acreage that you have yet to take backThats a typical lib reaction to anyone that disagrees with youBullshitIs so you should not be dumping hate on small businesses that being hit the hardest by this economic shutdownI would not expect a liberal to understand free enterpriseEssential typically means necessary for survival today.

Silly billy. I’m a business owner but one who has their priorities straight.
I was only dumping on the idea that the economic shutdown is more important than the health and lives of our fellow Americans.
Your stupid comment about retiring in 15 years to acreage was nothing but you looking down on small businesses that are working on a small margin between success and failure
I was only looking down on you and your opinion. The small business owners I know that have shut down are doing so to help the community because that’s their first priority.
Your attitude reflects the opposite.
But how can you be sure that all the small businesses you are laughing at are owned by republican white males who married their baby‘s momma’s and believe in God?
you could be celebrating the demise of some of your own kind
What the hell are you talking about?
I explained why I think you’re wrong. You’ve just whined and bitched about me.
Was I not being PC enough for you?
“if your economic future depends on a small business that you built from the ground up its very essential to you”
and you respond by babbling about retirement in 15 years to acreage
you clearly have led a sheltered life
yeah. And I responded by stating your logic is flawed. We are talking about responding to a crisis as a nation by working back to what is essential for the community.
And you responded by determining what is essential for an individual.
Your focusing on the individual over the community is not the right thing to do now.
You and other libs here have a dismissive attitude towards small business because they are not giggly ecstatic about throwing away years of hard word
but unlike your alleged little circle of libs, for most small businessmen this shutdown does not merely mean 16 years till they buy the private island in the Caribbean instead of only 15
You’re emotional. Get control of your feelings. I’m talking to you and you alone. You don’t represent every small business owner so stop pretending.
Im not dismissive of people losing their businesses. That’s why I supported pumping trillions of government aide to blunt the pain.
It’s your selfish attitude that I take issue with. All I’m saying is that we need to put aside your economic future for a minute to deal with a threat to the lives in our community first. Your dismissive attitude of what is going to get people hurt.
Call me heartless but in my book I worry a lot more about the death of people than I do about the death of a business.
Small business owners get a second chance after this is over. Dead people stay dead.
Now knock off the selfish attitude and act like an adult instead of a spoiled brat.
