There are costs to running a business. I used to feel the same way. A vehicle insurance ECT. Costs money. That was very reasonable.

Nick you are so right. I am the retired half of Investment painters I ran the company for 40yrs. All my employees got paid from the time they came to work until they went home. I had to plan the day so that they spent as little time in the truck as possible and more time on the job. That being said I had to buy each truck and maintain it. The other cost included gas, repairs, insurance. Then you have office and warehouse and phones for the lead men. Lets not forget SSI, workers comp, liability, holiday pay, vacations and retirement. So the plumber charged $80 that is cheap for a service call. Len
