    fair point about needing the beginners for a place to start. The turnover issue we're seeing in the industry definitely doesn't help with seniors leading the way. which ends up bei…

    great way to make the poors poorer and make poors pay for a problem that richer folks tend to create. This would effectively create a tax on the poor, as poors are the ones that li…
