It's PERCEIVED costs if the Democrats get their way and tax the ****
out
of everything...and they certainly will if they have their way.

In other words, you're not investing because of taxes you think are
coming.
But how does not investing improve that picture for you? Are you
expecting
losses? Are you expecting your market to decline?

Why bother asking him? First he says he's willing to invest in an
asinine new hire, then he says he won't invest because of the dems.
It's all horse**** that may as well be coming directly off gummer's
keyboard.

Ha-ha! Tom is a smart guy.

I occasionally slip up and refer to my dog being smart, but then I see
him eating rabbit poop, or barfing up a treat that, due to his
smartness, he thought would be a good idea to swallow without chewing.
:-)

I've talked to him on the phone. He just likes to
play part-time troll, by his own admission.

He's just another rabid partisan who doesn't realize that the lack of
reasoning he displays here argues against his case, and against his
own intelligence.

There's no doubt that he knows
he's gotten himself into some circular logic here, but it's fun to watch
him
pace around the corral, thinking he's still a racehorse. d8-)


And if those are reasonable expectations, why are people offering to buy
your company from you? Are they stupid?

I don't believe a word of that stuff, or his claims of being wealthy.

Oh, he's doing quite well. He inherited a business and he's grown it quite
a
bit.

Have you seen any financial statements? I can't count the number of
businesses I've known over the years that were a whole lot less than
what they seemed. In fact, I can think of a couple right now that are
in deep doodoo and hiding it. No doubt if Bernie Madoff had been on
Usenet, he'd have been bragging about his wealth, just like Tom.

And if you expect losses but there
are people ready to buy your company RIGHT NOW, why in hell aren't you
selling?

He'll probably say that he doesn't need the money.

Actually, I don't think he does. But his arguments make it sound like he's
hanging on by his fingernails.

Oh wait, I see that
he claims to be waiting for 2010. After the fantasy revolution one
presumes, when he plans to make some real money in the coffin biz.
'Cause we all know the premium that dead dems who don't work and are
all on the dole snorf will pay for their burials.

None of the complaints seem to hold together.

No kidding. He jumped the shark a long time ago when he got to the
point that he could no longer make it through most of his posts
without scapegoating "libtards" or whatever. Now he's demanding Usenet
apologies. Now *there's* a surefire strategy that could only come from
a deep-thinking business owner! :-)

Think "hobby troller." That's Tom. He's much more sensible in real life.

Perhaps. But how does one decide which persona is the facade?

Wayne

In Tom's case, it required catching him at a weak moment. g
