Tipping Cont.
I never could understand why rich people can get up to $10,000 a year as a gift tax free, but people who get tips cannot get the first $10,000 free. Is the fact that the gift came from many instead of one that makes the difference? Or is it different rules for rich and poor?
there's different rules for the rich and poor. some good reading on it can be found at crimethinc.com, indymedia.org, and rtmark.com. but that's they way it is. justice and privilege all go to those with the gold... the question to ask is to you become one or do you do something else...
It's every man for himself, the elephant said as he danced among the chickens. - Tommy Douglas
Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone. - John Maynard Keynes
Replacing the values of right and wrong are the concepts of legal and illegal as if that’s the beginning and end of what dictates behavior. -Charles Osgood
The problems we face today cannot be solved by the minds that created them -Albert Einstein

I guess I can accept that nothing is so permanent it cannot change, I choose that meaning of temporary, the other is just too sad.
