UNCOMMON CENTS 87

FOLLOW THE MONEY; THEN QUESTION WHY. A BUYOUT OF A CORPORATION IN NORTHERN OHIO WAS SANCTIONED BY THE GOVERNOR AFTER AN OBJECTION WAS DISMISSED. WHY? TO SCORE POLITICAL POINTS. THE DEMOCRAT SAVED 110 JOBS AT THE EXPENSE OF A MAJOR TAX BREAK WHICH BENEFITTED THE BUYER BUT ACTUALLY CHEATED THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. GO FIGURE.

NEED VALENTINE CASH? DON'T STRESS, GET IT TODAY FOR JEWELRY, CHAMPAGNE, CHOCOLATE, ROSES BY BORROWING UP TO $800 AT A CASH ADVANCE. WHY? TO SCORE PROFIT FOR THE BUSINESS WHICH TAKES YOUR MONEY FOR FINANCE CHARGES BECAUSE YOU VOLUNTEER TO THROW CASH AWAY. GO FIGURE.

TREAT YOURSELF TO A ONE HOUR FACIAL WITH COMPLIMENTARY HOT STONE THERAPY FOR VALENTINE’S DAY. WHY? TO PROFIT AN ESTHETICIAN WHOSE OCCUPATION YOU CAN'T NOT DEFINE AND WHOSE SERVICE WON’T BE RENDERED UNTIL YOU CHOSE TO DEFINE YOURSELF AS YOUR OWN VALENTINE AND THROW $45 AWAY.

HINT: ASK WHY? MONEY YOU LOSE WILL NEVER BE FOUND IF YOU DON'T QUESTION WHETHER IT IS BEING PUT TO GOOD USE. IT'S NOT A VALENTINE IF IT PUTS YOU 'IN THE RED.'
