Taxes

As Ben Franklin said in Poor Richards Almanac, "only two things are inevitable, death and taxes." Of course science is doing all this work trying to make people live longer and the average age at death is way up, in spite of McDonalds. In fact, eternal life may be just around the corner. But are you sure you want that? Just think of all the taxes you'd have to pay. I understand that the IRS is now fully equipped. It even has a recovery room. The IRS may finally put poverty within our reach.

So, what's my advice? Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. There may be a tax on it!
