Taxes And More Taxes

[J. T. Toad]

Wes, I liked your caveman/farmer analogy. I would like to add to the present state of affairs. Being in one of the most fertile regions in the world, I get some exposure to the 'berry planters,' matter of fact, up until about a month ago I was a 'berry planter' myself, of sorts.

I find it laughable when

1)on an overproduction year farmers, living in their multi million dollar homes, are on TV griping how hard of a life they have it

2) on a underproduction year, as the receive their insurance payment/government subsidy, are on TV griping how hard of a life they have it

3) on any given year a farmer will receive a sty pen for a crop they don't harvest, are on TV griping how hard of a life they have it.

This by no means is a carte blanch example of what happens to the modern day farmer, but it does typify what occurs as commonplace.... It is all a game. I never found my multi-million dollar home, as I bought in as in investor, and when I went to visit the crop manager, in his million dollar estate, to find out why my losses (tax shelter deductibility) were so high, I was enlightened to the system at play. I could go on but it wouldn't matter...

let me say this,

we have so far digressed from a capitalistic and socialistic society, society is completely ignorant of no greater goal other than the present state of self.

There is no logic to be found in an illogical system.

Ron,
Don't worry. The perfect world I know of... well, as I look into what the future appears to be, it won't be that much longer.

BahKAWK!!! Chicken Little is heading back to his roost.
