"If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." says Our President.
In all my thirty-five years as a freelance carpenter and cabinetmaker I never saw his sorry ass at the work bench. He was never there to tote the other end of a piece of twelve quarter lumber. Or spend hours at the sharpening station, or at the drawing table working up plans. Our planing out a recalcitrant piece of White Oak. Or giving his song and dance to a potential client to part with $15,000 on a dream. Or trying to make that dream pay, without losing the aesthetic. Or trying to figure out how to upgrade tools and machinery on a wing and a prayer.
As a matter of fact guys like him are a danger to themselves in any kind of work shop. Give him a chisel and he'll probably stab himself.
But he knows all about it. Sure Barry. Dumb ass!
And by the way my taxes paid for those roads and subways, and those bureaucrats in their offices in their pressed suits contracted out that work. To guys like me. Which is as close as they ever got to a concrete pour.
Dumb ass!!
