My wife came up with a novel solution to income tax, alternative-minimum-tax, and whatnot. She quit her 60K job, and said screw it, I would rather stay home.

But ya'll go ahead - keep on paying.

Talk radio host Neal Boortz once pointed out that if the most productive members of society were to just take a year off or voluntarily reduce their income, they could devastate the budget of the Federal Government.

I wonder how far off we are from the "Atlas Shrugged" scenario?

I know how you feel.
Is I’m building a house I’m staying in an apartment complex That. Well let’s just say not every one here needs to pay rent. And you know the funny thing is one way you can tell those who don’t pay live. On a hot day there the ones with an air conditioner humming as I stand by a fan and try to cool off.
As I have a old TV with rabbet ears. There complaining that the cable Co. want’s to unplug ( or did ) them because they want there money. Or as my family counts pennies for food and sees what’s on sale this week. The Swanen’s truck is backing up to there door. ( a gourmet food CO. with gourmet prices goes door-to-door and takes food stamps )

I could go on & on & on but why get more PO ed. Would you like to know a real kicker..

2 Two years ago my wife took a part time job for a short time with Head Start Cleaning up after the classes. For $5.00 hr. She finds out that Head Start PAYS The mothers $15 bucks to bring there little brats in ( and they are some of the most miss behaved kids) And has Donuts & coffee for them as they wait. ( I guess having 3 kids all different dads make it ok. /s )

I just love it when I come back from paying my property taxed and.. Well I did said I won’t go on & on.

But I know what you mean. Some time I would like to say the hell with it all too.
