Gotta love it: small business owners are dependent on government infrastructure in myriad ways: police protection, contract enforcement, property rights, local schools that produce viable employees, etc, etc. --And as they receive all this government support, they admire themselves for being "self-made men" and berate people on food stamps.
Are these people just oblivious to the social fabric in which we live their lives?
