I guess, but the dude has enough money to retire tomorrow if he wants. Why continue working if they're just going to take more and more of your earnings? I hear similar talk from a lot of my father-in-law's friends.13urnzz wrote:

The guy sells timeshares for a living... I didn't really expect him to be a saintKEN-JENNINGS wrote:
He didn't mention in the letter that he was close to bankruptcy and only avoided it by selling off a lot of his properties, and that the reason his company almost went bankrupt was because they would bundle all their high risk mortgages together and sell them off at the end of the year, and once banks started realizing the risk they would a) stop lending Westgate money and b) stop buying their bundled mortgage securities. So he can pretend the government is impacting his business more than his own business practices, but that's not entirely true. He didn't cut back on his own expenses to put more into the company - it was court ordered.
That being said, he is a frugal (read: non flashy) guy from what I've previously read about him.

Is now an appropriate time to be concerned?And they are insinuating themselves into Greek law enforcement to a degree that it's getting harder to tell where the police end and Golden Dawn begins. One police officer has been caught taking part in a Golden Dawn attack on a market, where immigrant vendors were assaulted and their goods destroyed. In fact, there are reports of police outsourcing law enforcement to Golden Dawn, telling citizens who have complaints involving immigrants to take it up with the black shirts.
Land of the free.A man who wore a homemade T-shirt containing an offensive anti-police sentiment in the immediate aftermath of the deaths of PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes has been jailed for a total of eight months.
Barry Thew, 39, of Radcliffe, Manchester, was sentenced at Minshull Street crown court in Manchester to four months in prison, after admitting a section 4a public order offence – displaying writing or other visible representation with intention of causing harassment, alarm or distress. Thew also admitted breaching a suspended sentence imposed for a previous offence of cannabis production for which he was ordered to serve another four months concurrently.
The court heard that at 2.15pm on 18 September, less than three-and-a-half hours after the officers were killed, he was seen in Radcliffe town centre wearing a white T-shirt with the handwritten message on the front and back. He was arrested and taken into custody after complaints from outraged members of the public.
