<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2526447, member: 1892"]It's only a problem when you look in the mirror, and only then (obviously) for some folks. Sending money to your kids in college, regardless of what they do with it, is the <b>whole point</b> of both Paypal Gift and the IRS exception. Yes, the money ends up in commerce but you're only sending it because they don't have it and they're not returning value directly. They're returning value indirectly, by developing the skills to stay out of your hair later. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Being able to rationalize bending that system just to avoid what would be due if you conducted your business affairs honestly is something for each individual to work out in the privacy of their own mind. Me, I can't justify such casual larceny in my own life. I've done it on small purchases (literally) once or twice, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
