Too bad there isn't a way to make his income for even just a couple of weeks. That sure would help me out!

Good 'Guys/Gals' finish last.. Honest people with a conscious do not partake in trying to rip others off.... people who are cunning and are out to deceive may forge ahead .. but we have our dignity.. unlike Romney, Newton, and others who lie, cheat, steal their way to the top.

It was take roughly two or three second for Thurston Howell meets the Tin Man to earn my meager wages. Hell he probably has my salary in his wallet as pocket change.
