"...it is only fair
that she give a small percentage tothe person from the IRS...."
.......[c]2005 by Richard L Zorek......12.12.05.....If you watched "Survivor: Guatemala" this year you saw 36 people competing for one million dollars, with at least two of them being eliminated each week. Up front on TV, we usually only saw the original 18, but secretly helping each one of them was their own personal helper from the IRS. They knew, that by helping their contestant that they had something to gain. And sure enough, Danni Boatright, from Tonganoxie, Kansas won the million and it is only fair that she give a small percentage to the person from the IRS who secretly helped her. That actually sounds more fair than the real scenario which is that the IRS will probably take about 20 to 25% of her winnings.....and they didn't even have to compete. They just have to hold out their hand and beg. Well, it would probably seem more fair if they did that, also, but instead they send you notices and with little "fine-print" policies about how if you do not pay them what they want you will be penalized. (you know, take your first born and all your cattle)
And 30 year old Danni Boatright put Tonganoxie on the map. Well, it has actually been on the map for over a century, but it might give it fifteen minutes of fame it hasn't had in awhile. It put the word "Tonganoxie" on the front page of today's Kansas City Star. And it even got a more prominent placement on the front of the Tonganoxie paper (The Mirror) then did the snow storm. (I am assuming that the word "Tonganoxie" was already on the fron page of that paper). I don't know her, and to be honest, I did not watch the show, but congratulations to her, a local person from the Kansas City area. {Ed Note: I am glad this little article is over because "Tonganoxie" isn't in spell check].
