Out of all the " bashers " over there he is probably the one one I have the most respect for. He seems at least interested, at times to at least view the possibilities of  " what if it is true ".  I've been self employed now for over 15 years. It's tough. I would much rather be working for someone. All get a paycheck, possibly insurance, etc..  He does talk to be a " fine wine kind of guy " but it does appear he is a $ .99 cent beer guy, selling watches and all.
