Caesar.: I know where it came from (well, not as thorough as you!) but we use a different translation (I think) and it has a slightly different meaning.

By the way, this year there weren't any ides of March jokes. :(

TARFU: I had a doctor's appt. for the 15th of March this year and you wouldn't believe (or probably you would believe) how many people had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the Ides of March.

I assume your bible is in Spanish? It would be interesting to compare the things that are different in translation and meaning between all the different languages.
Yes, Spanish. I would have to look it up. The wording is probably not that different, but what changes is the way it's been turned into a common saying. I'd say it is used mostly in two contexts:
-To acknowledge someone's merits (if you only mention Caesar)
-To suggest a fair solution/compromise for a dispute between two parties (if you also mention God)

Money may or many not be involved.

That's really interesting. Thanks for letting me know about it. All the forum members here from all over the world make this an engaging place. It's good for us to share little bits about our countries like this.

Meanwhile folks on the lower rungs of the ladder are getting majorly shafted with quite a few write-offs having been eliminated to the tune of raised effective tax rate.

Eh, let them eat cake.

Just got my $75 of federal return. Helps when you plan it right and don't hand over the fucks in charge too much.

When they start actually investing in infrastructure, education, and public healthcare, then I'll be willing to fork over more.
