So send my share in also as I haven't been as lucky as you. I always wonder why some people have no problem spending what others earn.

So you admit that taxes in this country are inordinate. What are you going to do about it?

Also, which is it? Did you work hard or are you just dumb lucky?

paying inordinate taxes

rich4eagle:
handouts are one of the major causes of excessive taxes. Don't you get it?

I truly believe all of us are mostly the benefactors of LUCK
Back when I was working 100-hour weeks in that start-up that (eventually) IPOed, rarely seeing my wife awake and never having the time to actually do anything with her, it was real hard to remember how LUCKY I was. Real hard. I can distinctly remember thinking I was working my butt off, putting in way too many hours, and and it might just be for nothing.

Luck has nothing to do with this, kid. But your being a whiner has a lot to do with it.

Has it occurred to you that believing LUCK is the key to success is the worst thing you can do to yourself? You just told yourself that effort and determination are useless, so you simply don't TRY. You sit there hoping to get hit by "lucky lightning". You condemn yourself to failure and poverty with beliefs like that.

Do you think the stock market is all luck? It isn't.
