Mr Arnold stated:

"I would much rather have that money go to the kids then to pay someone 
$40-60 a year to post emails to V2020."

Your numbers are a little off, Mr. Arnold.  I feel that the reason that I 
was overlooked when pink slips were handed out, is because laying me off 
would not result in any noticeable savings.

If it wasn't for my Army retirement pension and Tri-Care (active duty and 
retiree health insurance), chances are fairly definite that I would most 
certainly not be working in the position I am now.

For the sake of argument, I earn $10/hour.  That's right, ten dollars an 
hour.

That income, coupled with 40% of my retirment pension (as I am disabled and 
only 40% of it is taxable), I don't even qualify for a tax bracket.

So, unless you have anything of value to add, Mr. Arnold, my beer is not 
getting any colder and I am kinda in the mood for "Start Me Up" by Mick 
Jagger.

What have you done for the tax payers today, Donovan?

Take care,

Tom Hansen
