This happened near my nominal supervisor's house. It seems that this kind of thing-taking hostages, people just going stark raving bananas-is going to just get worse and worse until we come up with a world economic system that is, you know, systemic. And economic.

I really can't say enough good things about Dan Carlin. Always insightful, well reasoned, though challenging to listen to. Dan always makes you think and often makes you rethink things you thought you had decided.
Oh, by the way-the Red Sox reached an agreement to bring back Jason Varitek for the 2009 season. Hopefully, the agreement included agreeing that Jason would no longer hit like Marc Sullivan.
"the richest 400 Americans had their tax rates fall by one third"

I don't see any connection between this an us being screwed.
I think that the point is that the 400 richest Americans are paying a lower percentage of their income in taxes and making more money.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope they are still paying a higher percentage than the lowest income taxpayers.
Yes, this is class warfare. The upper class won.
