“One day my sister’s boss came out of his office holding a newspaper (this was a few years ago). He was complaining because a potential tax break on capital gains wasn’t going to go through the legislature.”
“My sister, who was working as the receptionist making 1/5 of what he did, couldn’t stop herself. She said very loudly, ‘Why in the world do you need an extra tax break? So you could keep your yacht at the club for a few extra weeks? If there are tax breaks, give them to single parents making minimum wage. They need the help. You don’t.’
He turned around and went back in his office. At the shocked expressions of the rest of the office, my sister said, ‘Well, I’m right.’ I love her.”
