Not everyone can be a small business owner.

Some people have to be the employees.

I can just see our automobile industry, or any large industry, run as a consortium of small businesses.

Unions developed because the people doing most of the work were supporting the five houses and lavish lifestyles of the people who owned the means of production. It's happening again.

When the people whose work creates wealth receive, as a group, less than half of the profits made by the companies they work for, somebody is living too high on the hog.

If you don't like the food being served, you can cook.

I'll be sure to pass that helpful suggestion on to the undernourished three-year-olds in America. Do you have any suggestions on how they might safely use the stove?
