So you're still saying it's more fair to tax me on the money I earn with my blood, sweat and tears (since I will likely have no inheritance) than to tax your children out of money you give them which they haven't earned. > Perhaps this explains why so many people in America don't > save enough money and depend on broken things like Social > ecurity to survive? (tounge firmly in cheek) Not everyone has the ability to save. Yes, there are some who have the ability and still don't... but there are a lot of people who simply never earn enough to save, who don't have special trade-skills or college educations, who have no leverage to "get up" financially. --- p.s. sorry if I seem particularly confrontational tonight -- it's been a long few weeks, feeling burned out and likely being a bit reactionary as a result. I'm actually not liking my job much (at all?) lately (for reasons that have been common to a lot of my previous jobs) and struggling to try and make time to continue development on the framework and its plugins in the hopes of eventually being able to support myself solely from revenues from New Epoch rather than a salaried day-job. Always on the verge but never over the hill -- that's part of the problem -- part of the reason I keep getting burned out. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:152449 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
