It is written in the Ka-Ching, the ancient Chinese text of the profits, "Righteously, thou shalt not remitteth to any man what thou putteth in thy pocket." and "Waste not thy silver earned by the sweat of thy brow upon those who urinate wealth against walls." There was a restaurant in Kirkland Lake called the Golden Palms. It had a palm tree as its logo on the sign. It is my firm belief that the owners had no interest in tropical vegetation that grew coconuts, or sunny southern climes. At one time in Quebec shortly after the introduction of Federal sales tax, a company wrote a program for electronic cash registers. This program had a weird and hard to detect bug, where if you hit a certain sequence of keys, both tapes on the register would not print out the same amount entered and the total would not accrue to the tax tape indicating sales. As well the inventory item sold would be taken off the received list. The company set out to find out how many registers were operating with this flaw when alerted to this bug. Their finding was that every single register was being operated in this way, eliminating the sales tax accounting on many items sold for cash. It is hard to believe there are that many computer geniuses out there when most people can't even set the time on their VCR's. Where there is a will, there is a way to tax it. EC<:-}
