Well, sorry to burst your bubble their newcomer, I own several businesses, and I contract for the Federal Government, and have as yet not felt the need to draw my Social Security, even though I am eligible.
The Federal Government does spend far too much, which is just as much your fault as it is mine, unless of course you don't vote, then it is TWICE as much your fault.
Quit tilting at windmills which make little to no difference in day to day life and worry about much larger issues which will actually kill you. Fix those first.
I am also over 50 and I have voted and volunteered at the polls since my FIRST eligible primary. I too have owned businesses, however I never needed radio communication. I was in CB radio when it still required a license. I believe in obeying laws, even when I disagree with them.
I work and support candidates who see things as I do and Rapidcharger, the fee just went up to $90.
