    You can hear it in these idiots’ voices: “he said he was a business man” as if somehow that makes Trump (or anyone) trustworthy, smart, loyal or anything other than a greedy pig.

    Small business owners, the more I learn about them, seem to be unusually stupid compared to the general population. Like they get a taste of minor success and think they’re Gods among men and their interests are worth protecting over all others.

    Fuck this guy and his ilk.

      I completely agree with your observations of small business owners. Seen it happen with close family members. I believe the term is petite bourgeoisie.

      They are. They think having to work 50 hours a week to make 100k a year makes them a rich person, because they do their own taxes and ‘own’ a business(or rather, are paying off a business loan).

      They literally don’t know the difference between a billion, and a million

        Duh. The difference is 1000. That’s not that much.

      Small business owners see the market and still take on debt to try to sell something. They are either dumb or bold. And those aren’t mutually exclusive.
