I have no problem with any of the mystic arts, but I chose not to subscribe to them.
I would like to find the fortune teller or psychic who can pick the winning lottery numbers, find the missing flight 370, predict the super bowl and count cards like rainman.
If and when that person appears, I could change my mind, but until then, I stick with Uncle Murray and his business slogan, ..."the more you spend, the more you save, and Murray's emporium on the boulevard"
Which sounds a lot like what both political parties claim. Just different priorities
Of course, he does maintain more than one set of books

Hello Bo,
You are right about the tax increase by President Bush having to raise taxes. But, by this time I had invested and placed my money into safe places. For those that did not spread their wealth into safe places got hit hard. Even when the stock market took a tumble a few years ago, I was not harmed too bad. I lost only 7 million dollars. It hurt, but more my pride than anything else. I pay 38 percent in taxes. I plan for it, and budget for it. Even this tax rate is better than when President Regan took office.
I understand you point of view, and I appreciate your comment because you were, as always, a gentleman.
Regarding the first lady and astrologers, you are writing to a Jew. Outside of many Native Americans, we are the most avid believers in mysticism. :lol: In fact, were you aware that Mary Todd Lincoln, Abigail Adams, and Dolly Madison, all believed in astrology and ghosts?

I do not believe in luck or that playing the lotto is a way to get wealthy. It is by work, good investments, and through savings. Not spending or living on credit cards. It probably will be shocker, but I do not owe a penny to anyone. I buy everything with cash. Not plastic or sign on the dotted line. That requires me to plan large purchases such as a boat, house, or car. Most is more than my petty cash fund for the month. That was the way I was taught, always put away 10 percent of every dollar you earn. I head today, the average American has only $3,000 in their savings account and less than 40 percent has started a retirement plan.
I like Uncle Murray! Man after my own heart! Two books and all.
