In my teenage years I hauled bales of hay, built corn silos, and scraped and painted duplexes and old houses. The work goes on--done by illegal aliens.

Well that is your experience. A time before X-boxes and where "Johnny" can do no wrong mentality by today's Oprahized parents..

BTW, my first real paycheck was when I was 16 as a busboy at a chain steakhouse. I say real paycheck because I mowed lawns for "cash" before that. Oh that's right my working for "cash" mowing lawns for "cash" is evil to you, nevermind.

Really, so you're saying you avoided taxes on earnings from mowing lawns?

Well, I did the same thing stating when I was 13, my Dad required me to total it up and pay the tax because that is what responsible citizens do.

So why didn't you pony up the tax, Dane?
