I was already paying State and Federal taxes. I had in fact been approached by another two Financial Institutions in New York. What makes you think that one cannot simply walk away? Perhaps to you, money is everything - not everyone is of the same mould.
Mario replies: I was kidding you because I do not understand your relentless hostility towards the US and your support for the brutality of the Saddam Hussain regime. I have lived in England and the US, so I know the difference is a lot more than warm beer and lousy weather.

I take it, that you support torture and deprivation of ones human rights and degradation of people opposed to the USA! You have made it amply clear on this forum that you are quite happy for young Americans to die for 'the cause' but not your progeny. Mario replies: Gabe, it is you and Mervyn who are the masters of misinformation and blatant distortions. Since you both seem to get your information from propagandists you may be surprised to learn that no one who is simply "opposed to the USA" is either interrogated or tortured. That would qualify a good part of the US population None of the detainees at Gitmo meet the criteria for treatment under the Geneva Convention, but are treated humanely nevertheless. Torture is not condoned, and the few who have been found to go over the line during interrogations have been prosecuted and punished. It may also surprise you to know that captured al Qaeda training manuals show that the terrorists are trained to deliberately lie and falsely accuse their captors as a tactic. By the way, the young Americans who have died all volunteered to risk their lives for a higher cause, something you would know nothing about, far less understand. Furthermore, you would have had far more credibility if you had shown some awareness of what Iraq was really like under your buddy, Saddam.
