The Goose that Quit Laying Golden Eggs

I keep reading main stream media (or as I am coming to think of them-Urine Stream Media or USM) tell me that I must pay more taxes. They repeat B O's talking points and fret over the notion that rich people are not doing their fair share. Of course, rich for them is anyone making a decent wage, but I digress. George Stephanopolis, Katie Couric, and the whole Hee Haw gang are scared that I may not be giving enough of my wealth to those who do not have wealth. Riiiiight.
The idea that if you take more from the people who are creating jobs to pay for the things that you have given to other people is lunacy at its finest. In what alternate universe will people work harder, knowing that all of the sweat and labor from their work is going to pay for the benefits of someone else? Be it Obamacare(unless of course you are one of the lucky thousands of Union members or others that B O has given a get out of paying free card to) or anyone else.
Let me tell you one of my favorite stories when I was growing up. A man and woman (think government) discover a golden egg(think taxes) when they are collecting from their coop. They marvel over it then set out to discover which goose(think taxpayer) is giving them this marvelous egg. They watch carefully and identify the goose. They collect eggs from this goose for quite a while, buying all the things that they always dreamed of having. (Entitlement programs, anyone?) One day, the farmer(or every liberal I have ever met) has an idea. He says to his wife(the general public), "Why should we wait everyday for just one egg?  Surely that goose is chock full of gold. If we butcher her, we can have all the gold right now." (Or if we tax the wealthier, we can pay for everything!) So they butchered the goose(still the taxpayer) and discovered that the gold was not inside the goose, but something she created everyday through very hard work. The farmer and his wife were left with nothing, and had to sell all the things that they had bought, just to live.The End. And if we don't get our financial house in order, it'll be the end of us as the great nation on earth, also. Think about it. you'll thank me later

Can you write more about the process of opening your own store? Would love to hear the steps involved.
