I have been a welder for 12 years, a millwright by trade , prior to that I ran my own sub contracting business.
Do you really want to know why people are not entering the trades?
The trades are the most over regulated over taxed segment of the population, run your own small contractor business and you pay 55% of your income in taxes, and another 20% percent in licensing, and regulatory fee's.
Until those greedy fucks take their hands out of the pocket of those people with skills they can expect a growing shortage.
fucking short sighted governmental bullshit.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
