20% Deduction – Let The Games Begin

You probably think that this fantastic blog is the result of my individual skill and its success is tied into my great reputation (My twitter followers grew by the scores in the last couple of weeks).  Well you are wrong.  I have a fantastic research service and this really cool three screen computer setup.  And my partner in business and life makes sure I eat a healthy diet and is always asking me questions that spark my creativity.  With those resources, just about anybody could have a tax blog as good as this one.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
