"You've never created a company, have you?"
Arrogance is quite unbecoming, especially when coupled with lack of thought.
The short answer is no, I have never created anything other than my own one person consultation company.
The more insightful question would be do I understand the concepts? If one has to do something to truely appreciate it, then most teachers should be fired, we should stop having concerts and sporting events. For anyone who hasn't played professionally, can't appreciate it.
Fortunately, I took an economic path that worked for me, and I am doubly thankful it's not working for you.
Best you stick to working alone; your "understanding" of the employer/employee relationship is zero. No doubt you're too busy caring deeply about men who play games with balls to have time to learn the necessary skills.

I can't think of a better start to start this country to recovery!!!!
As far as running a company, I did it for over 40 years and my motto has always been:
Ye who signs the checks calls all the shots.
I never left the office without a payroll check book with me!
