Just a heads up for some of you. Rich people pay little in taxes or 0 in taxes is a farce. The only way to achieve this is to spend A LOT MORE money on other charities. Henry Ford would brag that he paid No Income Tax. Instead he funded the arts. Just as your tax dollars go to those who don't have what you have Mr. Ford did likewise and built theatres, funded orchestras and art galleries. He had the power to give the money as he saw fit and that is egotistical to say the least. A few on this list whine because someone else makes those decisions for them. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/i2gc4313dbe1004270525q86c87caan5286559f98117...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
