I may have to get out while the getting is good.
Warmer climes and more people-friendly states beckon ...
Ted Kennedy started the tax brakes for offshore investments and his brother JFK was the first to break into Social security.
I taught managerial accounting at the university for many years. The majority of this course, along with cost accounting is to show that people are motivated to find the optimum maximization of revenue and minimization of costs.
Thus when this country started paying for unwed mothers, they got more unwed mothers. When they started giving benefits to illegal aliens, they got more of them. When they increased unemployment benefits, they got more unemployed. When they paid farmers not to grow crops, they got fewer crops!

Tom golisano: I needed to save my Millions to keep monica seles happy......LOL!
