SOLVE TAXATION PROBLEMS THE PRACTICAL WAY

When the Government lived within its income, and without so much of ours. . . they were the good old days! Things were so grim this that one married man told his employer that because of the present day taxation he found that two could not live on his salary. Being a practical man, his employer said he would help him to solve the problem. . . he would help him to get a divorce! patient while you get things organised. The result is, that everybody wants to do something to help you overcome the problem. They voluntarily make their own beds and play waitress to each other. In the meantime you scour the countryside for new staff and with a bit of luck, within 24 hours you’re back to normal, and offering a prayer to the man who introduced aspirins. Of course the fun really starts when the “ old ” staff, because you haven’t gone chasing after them, start making themselves conspicuous, just in case you couldn’t find them. Eventually they’ll weaken. They’ve got to, because they’ve got to get their belongings anyway. Don’t ask questions . . . beat them to the punch.. Just 'say in a quiet way, that it is obvious that they have “ booked ” out, and that the time allowed to remove belongings is one hour. This is when they realise they have nowhere to sleep the night and start doing a little bit of pleading themselves. The effort is very feeble because they hadn’t counted on this, and therefore had no no time to practice. Don’t forget. . . you’re a hard man. , . and you musn’t weaken. And you don’t! Of course it’s only a matter of time before you go crazy.
