We are ALL slaves now. Did you know that an average American tax payer pays total taxes of 45%? The return on slaves in the pre-Civil War South was only 12%..Wow!!! Yep, it all started when the IRS took us out the wilderness and forced us to work for them until June 12th of each and every calendar year. So how does it feel to be a slave? ;-) Clare ----- (standard disclaimer in effect)
