        In your other post, you mentioned going back to school and
finding another job. If you are working and not paying taxes, you
should have no complaints.
        Is that good for the economy that you are not paying taxes?
Don't worry, your shortcomings are being paid for by others. 96
percent of all taxes are paid by the richest 50 percent of taxpayers.
If the government can't get along on what they forcibly take from us
in taxes, perhaps we need to throw them out of office.

        Your corporation could have hired me for a lot less. But you
would have been laid off a lot sooner. In private enterprise,
employees - CEOs included - get paid what they are worth in the job
marketplace. If a CEO or a CFO does not measure up to the job, the
stock holders will fire him. Happens all the time.

        Those CEOs we saw doing "perp walks" on televison? They are
going to prison because Bush is prosecuting them. Again, there are no
guarantees in private enterprise. Everybody invests and takes their
chances. You invested in a job and lost, for which I am sorry. But you
got back on your feet and are working again, which is good.

        Oh, me too. I never joined either the Democrats or the
Republicans. I belong to a third party, which is beginning to royally
piss me off too lately.
