A friend mentioned to me today, on the subject of paid vacations in the U.S. compared with other countries, that someone he knows has a daughter living in the U.S. who thinks of it as a big labor camp, with people going years without vacations.
My response was:
“It’s a great place for a small business owner. The government schools are designed to create a population that does whatever it is told to do and believes whatever it hears.”

My conclusion is that I should either be a business owner, get a sweet government gig with lots of “benefits” and room for financial growth or get out of Dodge. Preferably the business owner option.
