Class analysis..

[Lev Lafayette]

"A real business would pay its operator, whether that operator was the owner or a hired employee."

Thank goodness that somebody actually understands Adam Smith's (and, perhaps not so surprisingly, Karl Marx's) claims that the small business owner is a member of the working class.

True story. At no time have I ever worked as many hours as I did when I owned my store.

Although I'm pushing it now, but I'm working toward ownership in a different industry right now. Call it an internship.
