<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1731436, member: 112&quot;]I think that&#039;s the actual issue for you, but let me ask you - just how much is too much ? 5%, 10%, 25% - where do you draw the line that defines too much ? I suspect that if you ask 100 people the same question you&#039;ll get at least 75 different answers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you are entitled to your opinion just like everybody else is. But if you owned your own business, how would you feel if others tried to tell you where to draw that line ? How would you feel when they told you that you were making too much money ? And make no mistake the mint is a business, it is in fact a business partially owned by you for it is owned by all US citizens. And every dollar they make is another dollar that you don&#039;t have to pay in taxes. </p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s where things get confusing for me for I fail to understand the logic of your thinking. For while they are making $1, $5, $10, on the items you buy from them, they are at the same time saving not just you but everyone an equal amount in taxes. And you are still getting something that you want in return for it. Sorry, but that just doesn&#039;t make sense to me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you were the only govt. agency out of thousands of them that operated at a profit - wouldn&#039;t you brag about it ? </p><p><br /></p><p>But let&#039;s take another tack on this. Let&#039;s suppose you buy a coin, and then later you sell that coin for 3 times what it cost you to buy it. Now I don&#039;t know for a fact that you would do it, but I&#039;d bet that you would post about it and brag about how well things turned out for you. I do know for a fact that a great many others sure do. And when you see one of them post such a thing, do you tell them that they made too much money ? And if you did it, what if somebody told you that you made too much money ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
