But I have mixed feelings about the people who do that kind of work. They are at least out working & paying taxes and not collecting welfare from the Feds. (us) It must be a miserable job knowing that you're going to have doors slammed in your face, get cussed at, have the dog sicced on you and God knows what else. Many of the people who get in those jobs..(not the con-artists) have been out of work and are trying to find a way to support their family. While the idea of booting them out the door is rather pleasing, at least try to boot them out with a friendly "no" and a smile.
am surprised that you would equate someone who has a pickup truck, a shovel, and then considers themselves a landscaper with what you seem to think is entrepreneurship in 2013? not exactly like selling apples during the Great Depressions!. as far as paying taxes.....really? with most purchasers using cash, I seriously doubt that the IRS or any other tax system is getting their fair share. and let's not forget insurance. am positive that they do not have that!

I do not think that I am overly harsh; just my opinion.
