Students Demanding That We Tax The Rich
The great debate of the day is The Compromise™. Or rather, what we’re gonna do about taxes on the rich. Obama ran on it for two years beginning in 2006. Liberals believed; believed either that he WOULD let the Bush Tax Cuts expire or that he COULD let the Bush Tax Cuts expire.*
And he didn’t.
He neither could nor would. And the great debate rages.

…about 8ft tall. Not too much shorter, no need for a short freshly cut pine tree. And certainly not much bigger; simple could not USE a big freshly cut pine tree.
Oh yeah, and I want it delivered to my house. Maybe-maybe not. But at the very least, it has to be dropped off for me to pick up no further than 3 tenths of a mile from where I live.
And when I say freshly cut, I mean literally, this sucker was in the ground 36 hours ago. MAX!
Sounds silly doesn’t it?

So, the big news out of Washington is that Obama has compromised with the Republicans. Tax cuts for everybody all the while extending unemployment benefits for some more amount of time.
The complain from the Left, and I admit that I’m impressed the Left cares about such nonsense, is that the tax cuts will add to the deficit.

So, I used to go to college. And I’ll use those days to illustrate my point when it comes to money, revenue, expenditures, debt and savings.
Back then it was more clear-cut on what was discretionary spending and what wasn’t. Further, back then my income was much more fluid and variable than it is now.
Okay, back in the day….
I remember going on vacation and bringing my camera and film. Now, to be fair, this was some time ago, so, I made less than I do today.
However, the point remains.
The film I brought with was pretty much all the film I was going to be able to shoot. I could buy more film, but of course, if I had the money to buy more film, I would’ve done that ahead of time.
Net/net, the number of pictures I could take was limited.
Say nothing of the cost of getting those rolls developed.
The genesis of Tarheel Red can be traced to two things:
The combination of data explained in a fascinating manner and the danger that is Obama has lead me read and read and read. And then write some.
THIS, however, is just simply awesome.

Taxes.
Good? Or bad?
Does it depend? Or does it NOT depend?
Either way, for a long time I’ve thought that we ALL saw taxes in the same way.
A method pf paying for the things we need to run a country, state, county, city or school.
Not so.
I’m tough on unemployment benefits.
I admit it.
While I believe that folks should get what they “paid” for I am totally TOTALLY against extending benefits. 99 weeks is enough, to think that we need more than that is …. simply …. silly.
So, lemme get this straight.
We’re in debt. All of us. And by a TON.
So we have to make cuts. A LOT of ’em.
Tough decisions to be sure.
Or is it?
