Why the current tax reductions aren’t just for the rich
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59. So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. (Bush tax cuts) ‘Since you are all such good customers,’ he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.’ Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. The group still wanted to...
Seagate 2tb external hard drive
Yes, I already have a backup drive connected to my main machine, but because I’ve got half a TB used already on my primary drive, I had to recently tell the backup software to skip some stuff and that just makes me a bit crazy. Who needs 2TB of space? Someone paranoid about constant backups like me, that’s who! So, knowing that the deals have already started, I decided to browse around and found a great deal on a Seagate External 2TB hard drive. It’s even cheaper than some of the 1TB drives. No, it’s not a portable drive, but I’ve got a few of those already, I need something to sit here on the desktop and keep my backups in order. (Time machine is a GOOD thing!) This is what I’m getting: Seagate ST320005EXA101 Expansion External...
On Weddings
Even though I’m one of 7 children, I don’t think I’ve been to an awful lot of weddings in my life. I did have the honor of attending a friends’ wedding this past spring and really enjoyed it. Aside from being a wonderful couple, with a great family, their choice for a “wedding favor” was the best I’ve ever had. No imprinted matchbooks or jordan almonds wrapped into a satin rose… their choice was a music CD, where the couple — both incredibly talented artists — performed all the songs. She has an incredible voice: rich, strong and sweet all at the same time. He is not only a phenomenal piano player, but writes music as well. Many of the songs on the CD were ones he wrote. The combination of their talent...
