I'm not special. Contrary to public opinion, it is how many, if not most, businesses operate and thrive. Companies, like GM, who don't,,,, get taxpayer funded bailouts from the Gubmit.

I run my business like you. I have always taken a modest salary, and left the rest in our company money market, from which we paid bonuses and used as working capital. If I had taken everything out of the business and pretended that I was some wealthy upper crust type, I would have went bankrupt during that last recession. I have taken disbursements, but only in good times, and only after bonuses were given to my great employees.
