Oh, I put more than that into a crappy 401K every week, but that's far less than has been sucked out of my paychecks over 40+ years of working.
Got all the gear necessary to busk anywhere (battery-powered amp) when/if I need to, to pick up quarters/dollars from passers-by - did that in my post-college days, too, but we did it unplugged back then. Unfortunately, these days fewer and fewer people carry cash. Need a portable card swiper that goes directly to my Paypal.
NO SHITT!
Are you starting to understand how successful you would be if, all your wealth was not stolen from you.
I've listened to your music. You have tremendous talent.
I think you are starting to understand you have a socialist network that has taken more from you than they promised.
Good luck Mike, and don't phluck with me. I love you even when we don't agree. You have presented some bad ideals... However, mine are simple... I want to see every American be successful . Instead we have a big business called government promising to pay $20 for every $1. Now it appears the rat is coming to bite you in the asss.
Fine balance... I feel too many many wealthy leaders have been dipping their fingers into the pool. Republicans and Democrats. It is time to drain the swamp.
Scary... I don't think president Trump will be able to do it... We have allowed a government.... That does not want to see people like MIKE BIRCH to fully reach self actualization.
NOW THAT IS SCARY AS HELLL! THAT IS NOT AMERICA!
