[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5066935, member: 77939"] Your journey/story is quite extraordinary......from criminal(this is vague) to "wealthy" I'll accept your phenomenal returns on investment and "wealth".....but I can't imagine unless you had some sort of secondary income source(wife a Doc or some such)(endless possibilities) of which those 28 years were like and suspect still are. Anecdotal story: I was reading about a couple that was asking(both 52) can they retire with $8 million? With a combined income of $400k.....annually. I suspect they aren't UPS satellite delivery drivers. We all hear of the old man(or lady) living modestly..... dying wealthy...knowing their existence....I usually conclude.....I wouldn't trade with them. Now, I'm going to have to say I think you are at the very least.....intellectually dishonest. You trade on completely eliminating any Teamster contribution to your "wealth". When in fact, you could not have done it without them. I don't know of anyone at UPS(besides you) that thinks UPS would pay anything close to our wages and benefits without a Union contract. It's simply ludicrous. Your hostility(hatred) of the Union construct is hypocritical at least. And I'm no rah rah homer for the Union. You rarely bad mouth UPS....but always rip the Union.....this is curious. On your knees for one.....the hand to the other. [/QUOTE]
