To put the call in context the caller responding to Bob's questioning said he had over $2 million in assets and earning over $100,00 a year and was bitterly complaining about being taxed on his Social Security and Bob pointed out private pension money is taxed at 100%. Without getting into class warfare I don't think Bob found his plight overly sympathetic and besides the philosophical issues was not ready to take up a collection for him. Marc
