 RS>> ROFL! Your corolary:

 RS>> 1. My mother receives an age pension from the government.
 RS>> + 2. David Drummond works his fingers to the bone and pays 
 RS>> copious amounts of tax.
 RS>> ----
 RS>> = 4. David Drummond has the right to tell my mother how to

 RS>> Sorry, David, it just doesn't add up. You don't have the 
 RS>> luxury of being able to tell someone how to spend their 
 RS>> money.

 DD> I said "suggest" not tell.

David, David, David. You are now playing cheap semantics, ducking and
weaving behind nuances.

Your original response to  had an extremely *indignant* tone; I don't think you can
honestly say you were "suggesting" and still keep a straight face.

 DD> The taxpayers vote the governmant in.  If they don't like the way the
 DD> government is managing the countries affairs on the tax payers' behalf,
 DD> they can vote them out again.

I agree with this truism. What has it got to do with anything, though?



Cheers...
