That is the trick with owning a business. You always drive a company
vehicle, with a company gas card. You have a lot of business meals and
business trips. At a certain point you don't need much salary to live
fairly well.

Yep. Welfare for the wealthy.

If all you want to do a punch a clock 9-5 M-F then all you should expect
is a paycheck.


If only it were that simple.
Anyone in the civil service can tell you that cutback after cutback has left
most departments streatched to the limit with more & more demands being
placed on the '9-5 worker'.
At least that's the way it has evolved up here since the 80s.


It is that simple.

If you don't like what your employer pays your or demands of you then
you can quit and go work somewhere else or start your own business. If
you are not willing to change your situation then all you are doing is
punching a clock 9-5 M-F and you get what you get not what you want.
