<p>[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 4224153, member: 110020"]Thanks for the thoughts. Actually, most of my spelling is intentional. My friends call it 'sam'antics instead if semantics.i even went into the settings on my fone (sorry) disabled souel czech, and added a bunch of words it didn't like. For example, sometimes I misunderinterpretate what someone is trying to explain. I have multiple college degrees, but had a stroke several years ago that landed me on disability. With my wonderful wife and an incredible staff we built the first if its kind specialty hospice care to render in home critical care in a patient's last few hours as opposed to the general hospice mandate of up to six months. At our peak we had a staff if slightly more than 1,000 staff members in multiple states. However, I made enemies all through Congress and the government and had to fight them every step of the way because 24 hour around the clock continuous care is substantially more expensive than a one hour visit every two or three days. Within a month after getting legislation passed (in the end they literally used my exact verbiage in the rules and regulations), they accused me of IRS violations and summarily closed us down. I had and still have indisputable proof that I was far above the standards they required and had even asked them for more legislation because I knew the competitors I had created were not operating ethically morally, or legally. They sued me twice before closing us down and both times the judge threw their accusations out and made them pay my legal bills without having to actually go to court. After the bill was signed, they came at me again and seized all if our assets, up to and including our son's college fund. We found plenty of attorneys willing to defend us, but none of them would do it without huge funds in advance. I was even told off the record by an IRS ombudsman this was their standard MOI, and as far as he knew they never won a court case like mine. The catch is that the government has to agree to let you sue them and if they lose they also get to decide if they want to pay the settlement Since they had all our money, it was impossible to fight back. So I had a nervous break that lead to a stroke and here I am. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know that's more than you expected, but there's still something else I consider even more unconscionable. They closed our bank accounts on payday the week of Christmas, 2012, and all our staff's checks were bouncing. I called the guy who instigated it all and when it was clear he wasn't going to change his mind I asked him if he had kids.
