BAIL 'EM OUT?

"BAIL 'EM OUT? Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now, we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry, and possibly our health plans to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey?!"

"What the Hell are we thinking?"

well hindsight is 20/20, but 1/2 year later, looks like bailout was a success, especially for the newly hired workers, or any American who believes we need a strong manufacturing base.

Never happened but it makes a good tale. http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/govern ... _ranch.htm
If they would have I wonder if you would be able to write it off as a business expense? Sort of a tax deductable donation.

A look back, for those that are too young to remember, they are true.

Maybe this is why it is in the joke and humor section.

And why I would like to leave a tax deductable donation as well.
