spending an revenue

Father and son:

A man, who worked his way through college and grad school and became the CEO of a major corporation, earning $200,000 per year send his son to college and pays his entire tuition out-of-pocket. The kid can go to school free and clear of any future debt.

After five years, the son, finally, graduates with a degree in fine arts (BSFA) and returns home to live. The economy being what it is, he can’t find a job in his field.
He had never given any consideration to turning his degree into a money-making ability. Clearly, we was unqualified for any well-paying job and, of course, anything less than that was not for him.

Dad, out of love for his son, tells him that he can remain living at home and that he would give him 5% of his gross income for as long as he needed it. He gave him a pre-paid debit card worth $10,000.00. Needless to say, the kid goes through the money like a knife through butter…after all, it was free so why not.

When the ten thousand is gone, within three months, the son goes back to the father and asks for more money. When the father has a fit, the son sys, “come on dad, you have far more than you actually need and I’m piss poor. You should give me what I need.” So, dad relents and gives his son another $10,000…now’s he’s given up a full ten percent of his gross…….you know it………three months later, the kid is broke again and, again, asks for more money. He never found a job and he never learned to not spend what he didn’t have.

That kid is our government and that dad is the taxpayers. WAKE UP!!!!!
