Taxes are high when you employ people, plus it is really difficult to lay off workers, so some companies are afraid to employ, so the production is much slower, the unemployment rate higher, and power of consumption lower.

I’m a firm believer that anyone can improve in this respect – it might just take a lot of time and hard work.As a recovering (functional) alcoholic and all around piece of crap human being, I’ve spent a ton of time trying to figure out why I did the things I did, reacted the way I did to situations, thought the way I did about things, and why I was who I was, essentially.

When they show up late, don't make eye contact, don't shake hands, accept the place without seeing it, are ratty, smell of smoke or alcohol, begin telling me dramatic stories of current landlord troubles, mold and such or some other red flag - guess what?   

Now, if you spend the profit on consumption (a.k.a. buying a new house, a new car, clothes, jewelry, etc.), it'll just slow down your wealth building strategy.

It's so amazing to see the fear behind your words, all over a plant that was once as common to see as Alcohol.
