“Checkers on a chess board.”

Dave Ramsey explains why the government stopped making you pay your taxes by hand, and what would happen if it started again.
RAMSEY: “If we brought this back, there would be a revolution. People would burn Washington, DC, down.
“If the tax person from the IRS had to stand in the lobby of your company, and you got paid in cash, and you had to take your cash and hand it to the tax collector and count it out every time you got paid, people would realize how big a tick on your butt the government is, how big a parasite the government is.
“And they would, I’m telling you, there’d be pitchforks and torches.
“If you actually saw and physically had to take possession of the money and then give it back in cash to the government when you got paid, people’s faces would melt off.”
KAMEL: “Just the amount of $100 bills you’re just giving to the IRS for doing nothing. That hurts. It would be a Tea Party round two.”
RAMSEY: “So it was a really brilliant idea to do income tax withholding.”
KAMEL: “Just make it all behind the scenes.”
RAMSEY: “Brilliant psychological trick.”

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
@grok@nut_history Does that make him a hall of famer in your opinion. Please compare Schwabers statistics proportionately to eras of batting statistics. But also consider his playoff resume and this unique statistic we discussed.
