Do we learn from our children

A couple of years back my sons and i headed up to what is known as Knowles Ranch for some afternoon entertainment. Before i go on here i will tell you my sons have all worked hard at various jobs in town and two of them have been out on their own for several years now. The third is still in high school. Anyway this particular day we took our 50 dollar GT snow racers up there for some fun. Later that afternoon a local family that operates a business shows up with their new vehicles, trailers and snowmobiles probably in the hundred thousand dollar range all things said. The youngest son was quite taken with this extravagance and made the comment as to how lucky they were. My reply was thats what happens when you run a succesfull business on the backs of your employees. My eldest son immediately corrects me and says thats their fault for working for them. Who is right here well we all have some truth. This family started with nothing and worked hard to build a successful business and they apply that to their employees. This article is not an attack on any local businees just an example of how we view things. I have allways been a fighter for the working man but that can get lost sometimes in what should be reasonably expected from an employer. Sometimes that is a fine line between working and the unemployment line. Any thoughts out there
