Lee, *OT* I tend to agree with you.

I remember running into a dude out west who simply enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was a professional collector of unemployment checks. His view of employment was to make sure he worked long enough to collect the unemployment so he could go hunt and fish.

The "system" starts with the premise that everyone wants to work. Well, it just ain't so.

I remember doing a tax return many years ago for a man from Ethiopia who had been a member of the middle class in his homeland. He was working as a janitor at the airport.

He said to me there are 3 classes of people in the world: rich, middle class, and poor. He indicated that his country had none of our rich, our middle class were their rich, their middle class were our poor, and we had none of their poor.

I noted that I was sure that it would be difficult for me if I went to his country. He responded: No, you have an education and a one-eyed man is a rich man in the land of the blind. I appreciated the education and did not charge him for the tax return.
