But my thinking is, why do I pay them money because I GO TO WORK? Me giving up my time to work shouldn't equal I give my money away.

Hey Saraste, have you ever been to Jesse's Steak and Seafood in Brandon? I've been told they have some of the best prime rib in Florida. We may check it out if we go to spring training next year.
