ROFL! Your corolary:

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

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



Cheers...
