Where you get all this crap from I don’t know.
Well then Mr Monk. I stand corrected on two points.
1.
I was wrong to consider you generated something of value. You never sold your businesses so they were not considered of value to anyone else. You built nothing of value. Your customer lists are worth very little and I expect gave you little return. Selling the stock ...etc is normal when gong out of business.
So I was wrong to consider you had some success in leaving somethig of value behind.

I was wrong to disregard IQ's assertion that you were a failed businessman. My interpretation of your clarification is that you are a failed businessman, twice, having not built anything that was of value or someone would want to buy.
This explains your left leaning and your obsession that the state should provide for all your needs because that is how you survive day to day and have proven to yourself that you cannot hack it in the jungle that is free enterprise and capitalism.
There is nothing wrong with being a failed businessman. At least you had a go.
However, stop bitching when someone calls out the truth, no matter how sensitive you are on the topic. A little self awareness and self honesty would be a good first step for you.
