New Yeah, but whats missing
is what each of them had.

First 4 guys ate the free crackers on the table.
Next guy got tuna on white bread.
....
I'm guessing the rich guy got the all you can eat champagne buffet.

Relative services provided by the government seem to have something to do with your income level. If I have enough money, I can get the feds to build me a logging road that I can use to cut down their trees and sell to the japanese while providing me with a tax break on the income from the lumber exports.

System is much more complex than this little toy.
I am out of the country for the duration of the Bush administration.
Please leave a message and I'll get back to you when democracy returns.
