Freebies and welfare handouts are always a better deal.
This is the kind of loser excuse making that blows my mind from a so-called "business owner-entrepreneur". Someone that really knows how to run and grow a business knows that $$$ isn't the single guiding principle in building a business.
It appears your guiding principle is indeed....all about the $$$. That's why you've chosen to NOT grow your business, hire more people, and provide additional benefits. You've chosen mediocrity. I would congratulate you, but unfortunately such a decision has real direct negative impacts to your employees, community, and.....the "precious" government you demand benefits from.
