You are SO right, Brother James. While our factory workers only put in mere 18-hour days (with one Sunday off per month), as CEO I'm on call 24/7 with no holidays. Whenever there's a crisis that my subordinates can't handle (and that typically happens every couple of years), they'll call me up in the middle of the night.
The last time that happened was in 2008, and I can remember it clearly. It was late in the evening and I was witnessing with one of my young Cambodian Bible students when suddenly my cell phone rang. I had to get out of the hot tub and get dressed, and get onto Skype for a video conference call (you can't do those calls in your birthday suit, you know).
Witnessing is hard work
This was the infamous
Chinese melamine milk scandal. My company was being accused of cutting milk powder with melamine in order to reduce costs while testing positive for high protein content. The US government banned the import of our milk products, and they were talking about criminal prosecutions.
That crisis wasted nearly three days of my precious time (and all for a lousy $900,000 per hour). I talked to some of our Chinese politicians and bribed them to grab a few street people, clean them up, promote them to top-level management at our Chinese milk powder factory, then publicly arrest and execute them. Ironically, the bleeding heart liberal anti-death penalty activists helped us out with all the publicity they gave this. We also had to change the brand name of our milk, because the American public stopped buying it. In order to keep the milk price down, we found other chemical substitutes for melamine, plus we added some steroids to hide the side-effects. That still left us with a lot of unsold milk powder, but fortunately we were able to unload it on the US military (for our soldiers in Iraq) - thanks to our no-bid contracts, we also do food service for the troops, and no one tests what we feed them.
The above crisis-management is just one example of how hard I work. I'm sure there are other examples, though right now none come to mind. I feel totally justified in saying that I deserve every penny I earn, and it's totally unreasonable to expect me to pay taxes. After all, if the government taxed me, I'd have no incentive to work - thus there would be fewer gold bars in my vault for future generations to steal after I've ascended into Heaven (though I plan to take all the gold I can carry). How much is the entry fee to Heaven, anyway? Any Cambodian Bible students up there, or do I need to supply my own?
Well, fortunately, I don't pay any taxes. Thanks to our shell companies overseas and a little accounting magic, my company always manages to report a loss to the IRS. I'm sure that this is what the great Ronald Reagan was referring to when he talked about the
magic of the market place.
Trickle down - works like magic
