fast forward, found full time job just to get back into field. Looking back, after taxes and all the BS, sitting on butt pays about the same!

who's to blame? who's the smart guy?

The SMART GUY is the guy paying the most taxes... because he's making the most money and living the best... and will retire nicely.

The "nipple man" will have a crappy life controlled by "others".

I'm happy that you see the difference.
