sometimes saying 'no to the $$' means no one to lord over you.......

money isn't free.....it has some kind of virtual value that we get told what it is....ie:homevalues, food cost, energy cost, taxes
etc etc.....

having money also means someone else rights the rules as to how you 'poorly' or 'goodly' use it.....

and our elected worry about the f'en 'do not call list'....how much more irrelevant can they make themselves and how much
more can we keep making them relevant.?

again....explain what level of wealth makes a person 'not poor'.....and they must also be a goodly manager of said wealth.
show me those rules/regulations....or make them up yourself.....
