Stinky: "Small Business" A cruel joke.

Actually Stinky, YOU are a cruel joke.  You couldn't be more wrong in the following post.

"Small Business" A cruel joke.

 When we hear the term "small business" most of us conjure up the image of a mom and pop pop stand. Or a lawn service operated by one guy with a trailer and a few power mowers. Or maybe a dental practice. How about a home cleaning service.

We get a picture of hard working individuals going it alone and making a modest living being their own boss.

And, to be sure, that's the picture of many "small" businesses.

But did you know that a car dealer is a small business? The owner is quite often the richest guy in town. How about that beer distributor? If the car dealer isn't the richest guy, then the beer guy is. Those businesses are worth a great deal of money.

Going up the ladder, you've heard of KKR, right? And Berkshire Hathaway. Yup. Small businesses. Multibillion dollar small businesses.

It seems to me it is time to redefine a small business. Let's keep it the province of the people in the first paragraph, above. The car dealer and the beer guy don't need any sort of protection. In fact, they need to be taxed until their eyes bleed. And let their kids earn the status. Or at least pay back a society that made their inheritance possible.

I can't believe we're about to pass a law that allows these "small" businesses to avoid tax on the first five million dollars of their estates and then to pay no more than 35% on the rest. Meanwhile, small businesses like mine are struggling to stay alive in a economy where no one is buying anything but groceries and gas.

Oh ..... and that mom and pop single station gas station owner? He's dying, too. His "small" business really is small. He makes diddly squat on each gallon sold, no matter how high the price you and I pay. If he doesn't make it in the service bays, he's pretty much done, too. Hard work and greasy knuckles is what keeps him going.

Stinky,

Please kindly go f*ck yourself.

I say that evil land lords be taxed out of every nickel of rent money and at their passing the government becomes deed holder to the property to do as they see fit.

It is the fair thing don`t you think Stinky?

I think Sparkly has laid down the law on ol' Stinky, concerning spending money to fix up the rental properties they have.  I'd hazard a guess and say that it got back to Sparkly about the conditions at one of those properties, and she reamed out Stinky good--probably used the ol' John Holmes-sized strapon.

Sorry Stink, when I think of "small business", I think in terms of numbers of employees, like less than 100. That's because I live in a reality-based plane of existence, and am well-informed, with critical thinking skills. You, on the other hand, live in a bathroom with a cat box, and have critical stinking skills.

Those guys all quit in the late seventies . Hell , it happened to me when the local bulk dealer started selling at the pump for the same as he was charging us . There are a couple of actual "service stations" left that sell gas AND work on cars but those are very few and far between and pretty much confined to Shorpy http://www.shorpy.com/image/tid/195

Isn't rental property income called "Passive Income" and taxed at a reduced rate.....and minus SS witholding?

It's very peculiar that the sparkling husband primitive's never defined the nature of his business, other by than the vague catch-all word, "consulting."

But one can guess, given the d'Alessandro crime family that dominated Baltimore for decades, which later branched out to San Francisco (Bela Pelosi is a daughter of d'Alessandro), the sparkling husband primitive's frequent trips to San Francisco, and the sparkling husband's affection for the soon-to-be-ex-Speaker of the House, and that many of the sparkling husband primitive's business associates have monickers such as "Moe" or "Izzy" or "Lucky" or "Al" or "Salvatore," and that the sparkling husband himself is of Italian derivation.....

The people I know at the top started at the bottom cleaning up shit and pushing papers.  Spending your life bouncing from one job to another doesn't help.  I worked with a guy that had a dozen un-related jobs on his resume and he wondered why he couldn't get anywhere.  He had the education (mostly) but he spent his life bouncing from one thing to another.  His resume looked like a jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing.  Marketing, electronics, radio producer, customer service... nothing fit.

"Consulting" is a catch phrase meaning "unemployed." 

JohnnyReb, there was a court battle at one time, concerning rental income.  At the time, passive income was taxed higher.  The challengers proved in court that being a landlord requires actual, physical, pain-in-the-ass work.  So it was ruled as income like any other business.

"Consulting" is a catch phrase meaning "unemployed."

It's very curious, the sparkling husband primitive's business.

It's lucrative enough for the sparkling husband primitive and the sparkling husband primitive's wife to take an occasional trip to Europe, and for the sparkling husband primitive's wife to take some trips to Switzerland with Mrs. Tutweiler, who lives down the street.  And as the sparkling husband primitive, in discussing the bathroom upstairs, admitted a couple of years ago, they employ a professional maid.

And there's all those trips to San Francisco.

So one connects the dots.

.the sparkling husband primitive is of Italianate derivation, and was born and raised in Bridgeport, Connecticut, a mob-run city

.after his stint in the Navy 1965-1967, with no discernible job training in any field, the sparkling husband primitive ends up in Baltimore, Maryland, a mob-run city, specifically by the d'Alessandro crime family

.in the late 1960s, the d'Alessandro crime family moved some of its operations to San Francisco, including Bela Pelosi, the daughter of old man d'Alessandro

.the sparkling husband primitive oftentimes goes to San Francisco to confer with business associates named "Salvatore," "Al," "Lucky," "Izzy," "Meyer," "Willie," "Scrunchface," "Gio," and so on

.the sparkling husband primitive has an unusual affection for Bela Pelosi

.the sparkling husband primitive and the sparkling husband primitive's wife live a modest life, in a slightly-seedy, slightly-rundown, section of Baltimore

.....it all leads to one reasonable conclusion.

One is intrigued by the sparkling husband primitive's possible role in the organization; he's too much of a wimp to be an "enforcer" or "leg-breaker."  Probably he's the organization's token sissy-boy, which is a position within the organization that is hardly insignificant or unimportant.

You know, sir, one thing I regret--or possibly not, as it's not in franksolich's nature to be a snoop--is that when the sparkling husband primitive revealed his real name on Skins's island, I quickly didn't look, turning away as if having walked into a restroom and seen a woman sitting on the commode.

Apparently the sparkling husband primitive's photobucket account is under his real name, and he had posted a link to that.  I didn't click the link, but I noticed the name (first and last) of being of Italianate derivation.

Perhaps I should have noted the name, or saved the link, but again, it's not in franksolich to play dirty.

Besides, it's more fun to figure out the primitives based upon what they say about themselves.

One wonders where the sparkling husband primitive ranks in the hierarchy of the cosa nostra.

He's no boss or consiglere or underboss or caporegime; he must be in lower-level management.
