   Wrong. We got wealthy -despite- the government's best efforts.   
      
   As an airline pilot was the breadwinner up until 1983, we were audited   
   -every- year.   
      
   Now we just use the personal exemptions and pay tax on the rest. Each   
   quarter is enough to support a whole family for a year.   
      
   How many whole families -actually- need supporting?   
      
   They don't do nuthin' for my family.
