taxes

I hereby respectfully suggest that from this moment on, no salon offer tanning services. That's right, no further tanning services. None. Zilch. What, then, to do with all those machines and space? I don't know, I was thinking that the Salon install speakers inside, and play "mood music". And then charge for "Stress Isolation and Sound and Skin stimulation".

Change the rates slightly, never refer to it as "tanning" again.

And, further, NEVER PAY A FREAKING DIME OF TAX.

For some reason I can't explain, I had a phrase start running through my head. I googled it and just as I did so, I realized it was from the Declaration of Independence. I started reading it through again. This time, with an eye to why I think it's time to declare Obama an enemy of the free people.

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance."

For the average individual, we understand that to get something, we have to produce something. That's the essence of trade... Grow wheat, trade for plow to help you grow more. Capitalism at work. It's a lovely thing.

All successful people have a set of skills that are valuable. Sometimes it's management ability. Sometimes it's just the ability to stand at a machine and crank out lots of unblemished parts. Or, fix cars, or fix people.

This was just sooo... Stupid. There's being wrong. There's being really wrong. And then, there's the "we swerved off the road to avoid crashing into the pavement" stupid. And here's the latter.
