there is something called profit you know!

here in my country you have to pay a fair amount of taxes, i dont know how it is in the US.
Here you pay the 17% of VAT (?), then every semester you give 38% of your pure profits to the state, and also pay about 250dollars per semester to have a company name. (bear in mind that the lifestyle costs here in portugal are less than half of the US)
if you have a 40% profits, you can see where that goes (15 or 20%), it is in reality much smaller than that. if you have an employe, a car for deliverys etc etc...

and those danger den guys should be earning more than the minimal salary... so that means they work pretty hard for their green
