I Built This Business! Me! Myself! I!

I built this business.  All by myself, with no help from anybody, especially not that over-reaching , intrusive government. I built this business.  Just me.

I did get my footing in this business with my Dad's help.  He started the general line of business that we do, and he did help me learn the ropes, and helped with customer contacts and stuff like that.  So it was me and my Dad that helped build this business.  Just the two of us. Nobody else.

I have been grooming my son to be prepared to take over the business.  And I've relied on his advice in helping set up my business, and keep it growing using his smart business sense, which got honed in the school of hard knocks, and the training he got at public university.  So it was me, my Dad and my son.  But that's it. Just family.

I do have some great employees, and thank god they already came with some basic skills, thanks to public schools and universities.  And it was my employee, Ralph, who came up with that new method of production that saved us so much money.  So it was just me, my Dad, my son, Ralph, and my other employees that built this business.  And maybe public education, they helped in a way.

I get my product back and forth on public roads, so I guess they're a part of what helps build my business too.  But it's just me, my Dad, my son, Ralph, my other employees, public education, and public roads that built my business.  But that's it.

Oh, and I almost forgot.  I did get $800,000 in government interest free loans to help kick start my business into high gear.  And I did get some local tax breaks when they realized my business was growing and gave me some additional tax breaks.    And there's been numerous other tax breaks I've gotten that somehow got passed to help small business.  Must have been Republican pushing them through over the veto pen of that awful Obama.  So it's just me, my Dad, my son, Estelle (my wife, can't forget her and her loving support, and bookkeeping skills), Ralph, my other employees, public education, public roads, government loans, local tax breaks, and Republican small business tax breaks that must have been put in  over awful Obama's veto pen.  But that's it.

Oh!  And there's also.......
