taxes for thee but not for me
Reminds me of a German girl I knew. She was really anxious to turn 21 so she would be able to claim an inheritance her grandfather had left for her. But her mother had been receiving gov’t benefits as an “artist” for years, and the German gov’t deducted some portion of those benefits from her inheritance. She was furious! “That was MY MONEY!”
So yes, you’re exactly right. Different rules when it comes to “me”.
