Depends, Max. In days of yore captains would hold some

of their crews pay
while they went ashore, so that when they got back to

the ship they
wouldn't be broke.


(Good point, John.)

Never mind, Mooron. Go for the big refund.



Some people are not smart enough to save their own money.
So, I guess for them a big refund is a good thing.


Mr. Crantz had an even better idea--the gummint could just keep each year's
refund until retirement age. Then folks like Mooron could have one hell of
a big refund then. Interest-free, of course. And if the gummint would
consider "retirement age" to be, oh, say, um, 94 . . .
