One of my key points Fabs..the world is complicated...but why..we have people who write laws that complicate them more all the time. Look at the tax code..Something even a Philadelphia lawyer might not even appreciate. You deal with it all the time. It is your lifeblood..and as you said in a previous post..you're doing good this year..Most of us aren't and you want us to appreciate what you do. We have to.. So you do good. Now wouldn't it be a much better tax code if you just paid lets say 5% of your income in Tax..no complications..everybody pays the same percentage and everyone should be happy...except you! No work.. And we have legislators and LOBBYISTS( many of whom are also attorneys) who do that to us everyday..in every way imaginable..And we must ask for it..cause we keep electing these same, mostly attorneys, people year after year after year..No term limits..no recourse..they can keep the money they raise when they quit and then they give us a health care bill they don't read..and tell us we have to live with it..and at the same time...they don't have to. And you wonder why so many people don't like attorneys?? No you don't. I'm not lookin through the rose colored galasses here my friend. It seems I'm trying to not see through the glasses that the legislators say I MUST look through.. I know they aren't all attorneys..And I do understand that there are good people who are attorneys also..probably in the same ratio as the B, B and CSMs out thee..But from a non attorney perspective..wh is writing the rules??LOL. I doubt you can answer that from a non attorney perspective as you are one. I was raised to respect judges attorneys legislators and the myriad of people who were supposedly better educated..better informed an smarter? They were our watchdogs..But it turns out it just ain't so. I respect individuals now..people who I know care about the country and it's people. Few and far between now though. Please don't run for office..It's awful hard to not be seduced by, as in Star Wars,....the dark side. or in your case..the gray side...hehehehe
