What's really interesting about all of this is that they are paying now, and will continue to pay .... And when they become older than dirt, they'll have the great comfort in knowing that their kids will be paying for them.

My bifocals are a bit scratched up. Who did this whippersnapper say paid for his private education? If it was his parents, I wonder if he's paid them back or if his reserves are going for used ebay toys for his kid (can you imagine? Giving your toddler something that someone else slobbered all over and probably worse!! Somebody, quick, call social services, this is child abuse!)

The answer is

No - haven't paid them back yet (but will hopefully soon)

No- don't have kids yet, so it was a hypothetical (and it was under the assumption that my toddler would be brilliant enough to create his own ebay company to sell the toys i bought him/her

Glad you have a sense of humor sio

Dear dorock,
That "extremely small 5%" you mention damned near pay 100% of the taxes - we'll be fine!

Signed,
Grandpa

P.S. - You better pray the Death Panel gets Grandma first - you pissed her off and she wants to give all our money to her cats!

What's "sio" ?


And don't worry dorock, youthful "innocence" can be overcome if you pay attention along the way.....

I don't think that "libertarian-minded" dorock understands his dependence on YOU and how long you have paid more than your share.

Dorock, in case you're curious; the top 5% pays 60% of the income taxes collected. The top 10% pays 71% of income taxes collected. Ask.com Search Engine - Better Web Search
