Kinda of a stretch of the real topic at hand, but why if you win BIG in Vegas, they take out a chunk for the tax man.....
Yet if you loose your arse, they won't even provide toilet paper?
I don't like this "It's ours" mentality of the government, it always seems they are spending most of their effort in devising ways to get more of our money....
Instead of thinking of ways how to SAVE money.
Am I alone on feeling this way?
If I ran my life under the same mindset, I would be dependent upon the welfare of others, to provide for me, because I didn't take the effort to ensure my own welfare first, before other pleasures, and such, in my own life.
I mean I am on the threshold of retiring, really getting to choose what I want to do with my life without the constraints of making sure I've chopped enough wood to last trough winter.....
It was often a real bitttch to chop and stack, etc.
I would have rather just went fishing and then went to someplace to get free wood, when I need it, but if we all did that, who would chop the wood, to take to that place, so I could get it from there???
Maybe a relative of the person who runs that branch of the goverment program......
Who gets such a premium price for his wood, he can afford to sit back and fish, paying others to chop the wood, and take it to the place of distribution.......
Maybe that is that guy sitting along side me, in my retirement, he sure seems young......
