Wait a minute, where is MY $2000 gift

Hey! I had 3 hurricanes come over my home last year...Charley, Frances, & Jeanne. The way I figure it I want MY $6,000 gift.

It is not unusual to see this type of thing in business.

For example, there are people who purchase 2nd trust notes on real property at a discount.

If I sell my house for $400K and hold a "small" 2nd trust for $80K for 5 years with a higher than market interest rate of 10%...there are people that will cash me out TODAY for $70K.

Am I "losing" $10K?

Same with this debit card. You cash folks out for hard currency for $1500, and profit $500.

It's called capitalism. What a country!

Heard a short radio clip on ABC radio Friday. Guy bitching "Only $2000? I need $10,000. I've got 8 kids"
