Mike, Are you related to our Gov. O'Malley here in the Communist State of Maryland? You sure sound like a Maryland Democrat. Cannot stand to have any Democrat critized no matter how bad they are but you sure can heap it on the Republicans. Gov. O'Malley raised our sales tax from 5% to 6% and claimed it was only a 1% increase. Gotta love the Democrat math. He went to school in Baltimore I think which is the answer why he cannot add two and two. Comes up with six every time.
I love most of that math, doesn’t matter who the originator is, to me it is the perfect example of “let’s dumb it down so they understand”. BTW I was going to suggest that a large part of the financial problem is the inability to ask “Did you earn that or just acquire it?”, but that would be too much in the Communist vein and ruled out of order. :lol: :lol:
OTOH I’m sure the creative people in the financial community would find a billion ways (that’s a lot of ZEROS) to repackage the true meaning of “earn” so it wouldn’t have to involve real work.
