I accept disagreements with open arms Tom but you know that already. I hadn't heard the story of Gen. Kelly and his plan but it might have served the South to have listened to him a little closer instead of running him out of the country.
The great thing about rabbit holes is that you never really know what you are going to find, plus rabbits are good eating and if get enough of them they make an awesome fur jacket.
Sorry to hear about your IRS experience and that ordeal. One thing is for sure, they don't let up once they sink their fangs into you, they are like a baby copper head snake, they don't know how to regulate their venom so they latch on and keep pumping it out.
Good to know you managed to avoid a stay at one of the Club Feds, chances are you wouldn't have gotten a room at one of their five star properties.
Thanks for the continued support, very much appreciated my friend.
Oh, man. It was an ordeal. They were convinced I was a drug dealer. I wasn't. I was actually dealing wheat. But they estimated my income at $1 million for a couple of years and whacked me with a 500k lien. I was 25. In order to fight it I'd have had to give up a couple people that helped me in my scheme. I couldn't do it.
And for the record, I really never made $20 k. But I ran about 100k through a bank account one year. I was young and dumb.
Did get the swat/dope team to my place a couple of times :) That was exciting...
I think the South would have won the war had they done that. That would have taken the heart out of the North. Or if Bobby Lee would have taken Philly in '63.
I'm not so sure that would have been a good thing in the long term.
Well wheat is a pretty dangerous substance too according to some medical professionals so .... back when you were 25 $1 million was a whole bunch of money, amazing how running $100K through the bank equals $1 million in earnings in the governments eyes. With math like that it is no wonder why this country has been bankrupt for the last century and we are passing around IOU's pretending them to be money.
It is funny to think about if the south had won the war, the nations capital would probably be in Atlanta or Birmingham.
