Many cars were sold at a loss by the manufacturers, with dealers getting their (positive) cut, to reduce inventories.

They are also capable of generating 1099's as part of end-of-year closing. If you're paying maintenance for your software and receiving updates, it's a no-brainer; if you're not, you flunked the intelligence test and deserve to fail.

Why, because YOUR candidate wasn't elected?

The government is a way of delivering on the common need rather than letting the privileged turn their backs on the rest.

And if you care ONLY about your own, I pity you. And home-schooling is not an option for the kids who most need public education. So when you pull your kids out of public schools, you degrade the system further for the kids whose parents aren't' the geniuses and skilled didacts that you are. It's just more "I've got mine, so screw you." I'd have far more respect for you if you home-schooled a couple of inner-city one-parent kids alongside your own.

I suppose you know what's best for your health, or your plumbing, or your home wiring, too.
