Making a clear -and tax-free- profit of $10,000 for perhaps an hour's
work doesn't sound good to you?

If you did a job like that only once a week, that would still come to
$520,000 annually for a total of only 52 working hours invested.

Unless you're Bill Gates or a Mexican drug lord, that's a pretty good
workweek-versus-income ratio.

I put it in the front yard, but the wife said that was bad idea. I
need help taking it down to the basement. What are you doing next
weekend?
