Hey, if you think you can become a bazzilionaire by dropping out of high school...more power to ya. There's always that GED program.<BR>
Gates graduated high schoool...of course it would be only fair to prorate taxes on a per semester basis for collegee dropouts. (That includes me.)<BR>
You wouldn't be subsidizing Gates...if you felt you were, you could always buy one of those computers with the half-eaten fruit emblem.<BR>
Note to Ken:<BR>
I addressed Thomas as an example in the past tense.<BR>
If enough heirs dropped out, the company or companies would more than likely go under or be sold due to bad management, forcing family members to start over.<BR>
We are talking federal tax here, besides Washington makes up for no income tax in other taxes and fees, fees and more fees. (Since the state owns the rainfall, it won't be long before they claim ownership of the sunshine, as well, and charge a fee.)<BR>
