Tax cuts explained?

[James Deuce]

For example, asking your students why people work at all? They'll say "money" but its far more than that. Work gives people a purpose, a circle of friends, a sense of being useful, achievement etc etc. Ask them what society would look like if no-one worked? Ok, you'd have to be gentle, no point alienating the kids, but these are ideas probably not discussed at home.

I was with you until this bit.

Work is what you do if you are too stupid to find something you love to do that someone else is stupid enough to pay you for.

Work provides none of those things. Work friends are transient, it gives you a sense of being used, you get to watch other people achieve by forwarding your emails with their name on the bottom of them, etc, etc.

If we're going to openly discuss Fairy Tales with kids, and least make it Badjelly the Witch. That will be a highlight in the midst of drudgery.

Wooah JD, such cynicism, here have some popcorn

Guess its a glass half-empty glass half-full thing. I'm sure Alanzs already knows the questions and answers to open the kids minds, the work thing was just an example.

Your view of "work" is sad. The best advice anyone can receive is to chose a job doing something they love. However for most of us this just doesn't happen. Indeed I'm struggling to think of any acquaintance who loves their work, but occasionally meet such a lucky person.

If work is really so dreary, dull, and empty filled with transitory relationships of no meaning, then I really wonder why anyone bothers.....??

This calculation is wrong.

Their meal has been discounted by 20%. So each persons new fee is 20% less than it was.
.

Actually 100 / 120 is a 16.7% discount, so the original numbers are correct.

I do it for people I care about. There's no better reason, but I don't have to like it.
