I wrote/mailed tax checks today...

Agreed

I am the opposite…

Everybody born has been given the opportunity to strive and succeed… some quit, some fail and quit,  and some persevere over and over… then some are born with a silver spoon and others are just lucky… I dislike the fact of supporting people beyond a reasonable low income who are just plain lazy and milk the system. I am a uneducated guy, who worked very hard to achieve success and still do… when I have to pay 40% of my income in taxes, which wasn’t easy to come by, I feel nothing for the unfortunate… but ill thoughts… I was in their shoes once and pressed on….those that are disabled is another story… I don’t like forced charity… I show no favor to politicians either… 

there’s a saying… if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime… giving them a fish, (lots) gives them no incentive to succeed in life…

Later,

Sc2- unfortunately, there are people who simply want the fish caught, cleaned AND cooked for them at NO CHAARGE - yet STILL COMPLAIN!

Thank goodness we have a space with boxes that reproduce  music, so we can temporarily forget we just gave up more of our hard earned cash.

Just 360 days left, and we get to do it AGAIN!

Agree
 

I just received my new tonearm a few minutes ago and phono pre Monday… time to make an arm board, yippee!

I’m going to go out on a limb here.  Let’s all stop our bitching about politics and paying taxes.  We should all just thank (insert name of your preferred fictitious character here) that we have incomes and need to pay taxes.  Millions out there would love to have our problems.  Getting off my soapbox now.
