Businesswoman Chapter 134
The Individualists speak together.
The three of them finished their speeches to thunderous applause and a standing ovation that lasted twelve minutes.
“Thank you all,” announcer Humphrey Balmer chimed. “Now we’ll take questions. Yes?” He pointed to a prim young woman with a blue sweater and khaki skirt.
“Firstly, that was amazing. I’d never seen a presentation like that before. Um, this is for Entrepreneur Paul. Why do you think materialism is so rampant?”
“Wow, I was waiting on a softball,” Atkinson remarked. “Well, materialism is good in the end. Everything in the natural world either is matter or has to be observed by it. Look at our clothes, this microphone, these lights. All material, but came from a place of ideas…the human mind.”
“Thank you,” the young woman sat.
A boy with locks looked up and directed his question at Lisa.
“Do you think it’s a conflict of interest to hold private businesses and a 501 (c) (3) at the same time?”
“Absolutely not. I hold my businesses together and still have to pay taxes on them. It is refreshing to have an organization where I’m not taxed. Until all payment for governmental services is voluntary, I will continue the fight to let go of the yoke.”
The last question came from a young man in a business suit and a red power tie.
“Do you, Businesswoman, deserve the money you make? I’ve studied you and know you’ve organized this evening. Do you feel like you’ve earned your keep?”
“Yes, I do. So does Businessgirl and Entrepreneur Paul. I’m presuming that you earn your money, too. It doesn’t matter if you’re poor or rich. I don’t care about the rich and poor. I care about the productive. I’ve concerned myself with the ones who could only show their quarterly reports and time cards.”

When the trucks had done their dance on the superhighway connection, Felton Sheltham knew he had to locate his soul. Though he no longer sat in the driver’s seat, the constant tug at his mind persisted. The work, on the surface, seemed easy. He relished it. But at the same time the labor proved to be intensive and even grueling at times. His large hands which gripped steering wheels in the past now became second to his brain chip which governed the various vehicles. The man who owned the trucking company wanted to meet Sheltham in person. He had taken notice of the man’s resolve and unyielding integrity. Sheltham had been called to the c-suite and sat at a chair in the glass enclosed room.
