Deductions, not deductibles, numbskull.
I liked this post, but there's no mention of Heart and their record label sending a cease and desist order to the Republicans for playing Barracuda.

That link about solo practicioners is a bore. It just demonstrates that small time lawyers have a chip on their shoulders AND get paid less.
True #9. Many solos are bitter that they never had a shot at BIGLAW coming out of law school. Then again, there are plenty of mid-level associate douchebags (and perhaps partners) in BIGLAW whose identities are inexorably tied to their BIGLAW firms.
Since most BIGLAW associates don't make partner, a significant percentage of those go into SMALLAW or SOLO. While they may be bitter that they didn't make partner, they are probably a bit happier (and perhaps wealthier) a few years out from BIGLAW.
