I earned it, the gov't didn't.

How much would you have earned if the government
didn't exist or hadn't provided for infrastructure?

Here's one: A while back one of my coworkers told me (with a straight face)
that the only reason he doesn't steal or hasn't killed someone is because
he's afraid of going to jail.

Thinking about that,... I'm pretty glad the government provides that
infrastructure!

Back on topic: ..... I doubt I'll be able to keep flying, much less owning,
in retirement. I'm the backside of the baby boom curve, there'll be nothing
left when I'm ready (Pension or SS). Once the boomers stop feeding their
401K plans, and the flow into the market reverses,... well that's the
trifecta.

OK,... can you tell I had a crappy day in the office? ;-)
