Been there, done that when my income was 0% for a year or more.....so, unlike Bill Clinton and the Obama crowd, I have really and truly felt your pain.
The difference between you and I, Johnny and the Dummies...is that we accept that our choice to be self-employed has drawbacks and don't bitch that we aren't receiving unemployment because of our choice, and expect someone else to support us.
We do, however, bitch when the government does not do
their job....and
we have paid for the right to do so....also unlike the Dummies who haven't paid.
