8:39 am	@@@@@Occasionally there were temporary taxes @@@@@Occasionally there were temporary taxes levied in order to pay for warsThe king or the president would put the word out and ask everyone to "chip in Taxes were levied in Britain for the fight against Napoleon from 1799 to 1816, and in America taxes were levied to pay for the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 In 1874, England made income tax a permanent levy on its citizensIn 1913, an income tax became permanent in the United States with the adoption of the 16th Amendment to the ConstitutionAt one time, Americans were anti-taxIt had been the excessive tax on tea that led to the famous Tea Party in Boston Harbor, an incident that helped ignite the Revolutionary WarIt took approximately 50 years in both England and '?the United States to sell the idea of a regular income tax; What these historical dates fail to reveal is that both of these taxes were initially levied against only the richIt was this point that rich dad wanted Mike and me to understandHe explained that the idea of taxes was made popular, and accepted by the majority, by telling the poor and the middle class that taxes were created only to punish the richThis is how the masses voted for the law, and it became constitutionally legalAlthough it was intended to punish the rich, in reality it wound up punishing the very people who voted for it, the poor and middle class "Once government got a taste of money, the appetite grew," said rich dad"Your dad and I are exactly oppositeHe's a government bureaucrat, and I am a capitalistWe get paid, and our success is measured on opposite behaviorsHe gets paid to spend money and hire peopleThe more he spends and the more people he hires, the larger his organization becomesIn the government, the larger his organization, the more he is respected On the other hand, within my organization, the fewer people I hire and the less money I spend, the more I am respected by my investorsThat's why I don't like government peopleThey have different objectives from most business peopleAs the government grows, more and more tax dollars will be needed to support it My educated dad sincerely believed that government should help pe (Comment on this)

8:39 am	@@@@@ The cannoneers stared at himOne of them @@@@@ The cannoneers stared at himOne of them was humming to himself"You men mind if I fire the gun?" the General asked pleasantly "Huh?" DiVecchio asked The General walked over to the position of No1 man outside the trails by the elevating mechanism, and grasped the lanyardIt was a foot-length of cord with a knob at the end"How many seconds, Captain?" "Fire in five seconds, sir The Captain had looked at his watch nervously The knob of the lanyard hefted pleasantly in the General's palmHe stared at the complicated obscured mechanism of the breech and the carriage springs, his mind hovering delicately between anxiety and excitementAutomatically he had posed his body in a relaxed confident posture; it was instinctive with him to appear unconcerned whenever he was doing something unfamiliarThe mass of the gun, however, troubled him; he had not fired an artillery piece since West Point, and he was remembering not the noise nor the concussion, but a time in World War I when he had been under an artillery barrage for two hoursIt had been the most powerful single fear of his life, and an echo of it now was rebounding through his mindJust before he fired he could see it all, the sharp detumescent roar of the gun, the long soaring plunge of the shell through the night sky, its downward whistle, and the moments of complete and primordial terror for the Japanese at the other end when it landedAn odd ecstasy stirred his limbs for a moment, was gone before he was quite aware of it The General pulled the lanyard The muzzle blast deafened him momentarily, left him shaken and numb by its unaccustomed forceHe felt rather than saw the great twenty-foot flambeau of flame that discharged from the muzzle, heard dumbly the long billowing murmurs of the discharge through the dark closeted aisles of the jungleThe balloon tires, the trails were still vibrating gently from the recoil It had all taken a fraction of a secondEven the backward blast of wind had passed him, roiled his hair and closed his eyes before he was conscious of itThe General was recovering his sense-impressions by degrees, clutching at them in the wake of the explosion like a man chasing his hat in a galeHe took a breath, smiled, heard himself say in an even voice, "I wouldn't like to be at the other end He noticed the cannoneers, the Captain, after he sp (Comment on this)
