One of my favorite 50's TV shows was called "Millionaire". No, not the cheesy Regis Crap Hour they play today. This was a half-hour drama, the quality type that early TV USED to show before all the quality was chased away by things like-well-the Regis Crap Hour. Each week a very rich guy would have his agent deliver a million $$'s (post-tax) to someone he had somehow decided to give it to. No explanation was ever given-because the play was about the recipient and not the rich guy, who you never saw (obviously a Soros/Abramhof type, or some kind of sadist.) The recipient more often than not was either ruining their life and was saved by the $1 million; or proceeded to ruin their life AFTER getting the $1 million. Having listened to people talk about their money and financial challenges for the last 40 years, I have become convinced that the LATTER was the far more realistic scenario. And I wonder how much tragedy will be created by... foxnews.com
