Imagine yourself the caretaker of a blind tycoon

[SoCalDem]

This tycoon has a virtually unlimited source of income, and YOU are the one person in charge of managing his finances. He can, and does sign the checks, but the expenses are YOUR responsibility. He has NO family, and whatever money he has left over or eventually dies with, will most likely be passed around to various charities.


How difficult is it for you to "pad" his expenses, and pocket the difference? Or to add some extra zeros to your own compensation?

The 'old man' will never see the splendid home you have, or know about the fancy private schools your kids attend. He rides in the car that he assumes is his, but he only goes where YOU take him, and has no idea that his "other" cars are being driven by your family & friends..


The old guy also has no idea that you are treating your friends to some pretty fancy stuff.

He only signs his name to the checks..and signs where you tell him to sign.

You tell him over and over how wonderful he is and what a generous person he is.. You tell him of all the people he has helped , and you read the letters to him. It pleases him to know that he has helped all those people. Since he's blind, he doesn't know the pages you read to him are blank, and there are few if any "real" letters of thanks.








Our tycoon pal's name is Sam..Uncle Sam

You are congress

The charities? well that would be the various "little people" who are the "source" of income, and would LOVE to see some of their money back..
