Okay you old blow hard. You've finally worn me down with your BS. You say I'm somehow in no position to criticize anything going on in the US and that I'm not working to make it better. I"ll take you up on the challenge of who's accomplished what for the country during their productive years.
When I entered the oilfied in 1978 I was initally employed by a small firm operating out of a tiny rental office and lab run by a very intelligent man and his silent partner. While he was brilliant at the work he did, he was not very good a managing money and even worse at managing people, hence he was still a one man show after 8 years.
Over the next 20 years, I helped him take the company from gross sales of about $500,000 PER YEAR to over $1,000,000 PER MONTH, bought out both the original partners with company earnings, and when I finally sold the company, we employed over 150 professionals with backgrounds in petroleum and chemical engineering. We also operated out of a company-owned facility that was the best in the world for its type of work. I know this because I visited all of our commercial competitors over the years and nothing better existed at the time.
That company continues chugging along today 15 years after I sold it.
I can't recall what kind of reveunes we were generating for the feds with over $1,000,000 in taxable company income monthly and 150 professional salaries, but let's just agree it wasn't chump change.
Now, Montana is almost 30% owned by the feds so I know for a fact that a portion of those hard-earned dollars I sent to DC were turned around and sent out west in support of your sorry fat ass.
So, until you can demonstrate that you've done anything in your adult life other than feed from the government trough, shut the bad word up and stop telling me I have no right to criticize what I see wrong with the government you helped elect.
So you took your lifelong earnings that were earned in the US by using all the government, law enforcement and military services provided for by US taxpayers- and took it to a communist country to invest in that country! :???:
To me that is what is one of the big problems with this country today...![]()
He didn't take all of his money to another Country, trus me.
Did you White..as snow..wing? :roll:
How'd ya come up with that WW alias again?
