Bill Clinton received about $15 million for his memoir My Life.
Hillary Clinton received about $8 million for her memoir Living History.
That’s about $23 million dollars for the memories of two people who testify they can't remember anything.
Shaquille O’Neal said, “My stepdad was a Sergeant in the Army, a serious and strong man of character. We had an excellent relationship...
I once played at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks in my first season in the NBA.
I had a terrible game.
Afterward, he called me and asked why I played so badly.
He wondered if it was the pressure of facing Patrick Ewing and the Knicks. I told him I felt pressure.
He said, ‘Tomorrow, I want you home at 7:00 AM. Pick me up. We’re going to see a family that has no home.’
On the way, we encountered a family in need.
My stepdad stopped, gave them money for their next meal, and said,
"That’s pressure. You have everything; you’re weak. There’s no pressure in playing basketball and earning millions of dollars. Real pressure is felt by those who don’t know when or where their next meal will come from."
He told me to get out and help that family.
I got out and saw a man with his wife and two children who had just lost their home.
The man was looking for work. He told me he was cutting grass.
I called a friend and asked him to get this man a job.
I called another friend and said I needed an apartment for a family of four, promising to send a check the next day. They needed help.
After that, I never felt pressure in a basketball game again because that family had real pressure.”
Money is taxed when we are paid.
Money is taxed when it's invested.
Money is taxed when it's spent.
Money is taxed when it's inherited.
Property purchased with the taxed money is then taxed again every single year.
The Founding Fathers would not support this level of taxation.
Interesting to know the percentage of coaches who have HIGH standards instead of coaches who give into players that talk back to the coach in practice/games and nothing is done? Under or over 50%?
