Cowboy-up and Pay the Man ========================= By George Mandis https://george.mand.is/2011/07/cowboy-up-and-pay-the-man Thursday, July 21st 2011 [Dave Winer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Winer) is a funny dude. He's been in the tech industry longer than I've been alive and has many opinions on many things. I read him because about half the things he writes make me scratch my head, and the other half feel spot on or make me smile. Actually, they all make me smile, because they almost always make me think. Today he linked to an article called [Quit Being a Dick, Cowboy Up and Pay Your Taxes](http://www.thejuliagroup.com/blog/?p=1547). I liked the title; I liked the article. I'm linking to it. Boom. Thursday. Enjoy.
