Wow, you almost lost me on this one.

It's like building up a car, you make so much power and once you get used to that, you want to have more to get that feeling that you own a fast car. If a business owner is making more and more money, he very well should be looking into expanding his business to continue the money-making.

You say people start businesses to make money. Well why would they shoot themselves in the foot if they are making more to be able to expand and don't hire more people?
