Nope. Your words were and I quote:
Quote:As a business owner, I refuse to hire anyone. Conforming to all the federal, state and local regulations is too expensive, too risky and ultimately unnecessary. I have consultants, independent contractors, and out-source all my production - mostly overseas. I started my own business for the sole purpose of making money so I could stay in the middle class, not to provide social services.
Based on this statement alone, you are no better than the large companies to take work away from Americans and give it to people overseas for cheap labor. Instead of helping your fellow American out, you choose to be chincy. You've been called out on it and now you want to blameshift YOUR decisions based on who inspired you? Give me a break dude. No one held a gun to your head and made you do anything you didn't want to do. Including acting like an ass. Timothy Ferris, Seth Godin and Tom Peters are NOT responsible for the things YOU chose to embark on. Just because they inspired you does not free YOU from being held accountable for your own actions.
Admit it. You got caught looking like the embarrassment to this country that you are. Quit trying to back peddle and blame people you looked up to.
