At least it wasn't a crack ho with 8 kids from different men. Too many of those claimed to be "victims", too (but they live off of our tax dollars for a lifetime).

At least this couple were legit victims and not "benefit babies".

He didn't say anything about giving back to his community.

The tax was incredibly steep. well over 50%.

He shouldn't have to pay taxes again for the rest of his life.

He's used to handling wealth though.

He should sponsor state wide youth and student programmes. he'll have millions in his bank already.

We are all winners... We need'nt put a dollar sign $$ by our blessings of life...

And how could we??

I have things money could never buy...EVER!!

REMEMBER, if you will::---

"Little that a righteouss man has is better than the riches of many wicked." Psalm 37;16

ANd lots of valuable things can be bought for so cheap a price. A cheap bottle of booze can cost people thier very lives and limbs.

If we're proud from advancing in our struggles, we're doing pretty good and most importantly people know why we hold our heads high.

Imagine being so rich you never have to struggle for anything. Having no idea what satisfaction can bring.

But I can't stand people who have little criticising what others have. Contemptible.

he will be broke within a couple of years. Otherwise he would have never used the word victim. Please do a follow-up on him

He'll only go broke if he invests. That's how they all go broke.

People forget a bank acc is an investment. the interest is enough to live on with that amount.

and this guy was well off already.

he knows how to handle money. He's got enough already. he'll never go broke.
