Who Gets Your Money


This is an Orangutan we saw at the Gulf Breeze Zoo. He was being fed green beans and had his hand out for more. Remind you of any US automakers? I suppose I think better of the orangutan because he isn't at fault for his situation. Of course I'm not sure I'll think any better of a congressman who votes to give a large company money in hard times by taking it from small companies and individuals (and their children) through taxes and a higher deficit.

Don't worry. You and I are probably in a low enough tax bracket that Uncle Sam pays us to file tax returns. Isn't socialism great?

True Michael, but we still pay Medicare taxes, Social Security taxes, and indirectly corporate taxes. In addition the drain on the economy caused by high taxes effects even those who pay none.

Of course. As I said, "socialism!"

Indeed.
