>>Sorry friend, 18% flat tax with the first $10,000 (and some even propose first $20,000) exempt doesnt make me pay more taxes<< alan, think about it. you taxes go down a little. my taxes go down a little. everyone's taxes go down a little. forbes' goes down half a billion. now, if revenues decrease and expenses stay the same, and we can't pay da bills (however poorly spent) then what happens? YOUR TAXES GO RIGHT BACK UP AND FORBES WILL FIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE YOU AND I PAY MORE AND HE PAYS LESS. i wish your taxes and mine could go down big. but i also understand basic math. it doesn't work. a good con always has good looking bait and the con hopes nobody looks beyond the carrot. once the deficit ballons then YOUR TAXES GO RIGHT BACK UP AND FORBES WILL FIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE YOU AND I PAY MORE AND HE PAYS LESS. as an aside, in california some assembly person accused the gas companies of gouging. i laughed b/c the state makes more on gas than the companies and thery have the gall to accuse them of gouging. i guess it takes one to know one ;-)

Alan and All: There have been reports of Brinker on the golf course this Saturday during the radio broadcast of his program. The only explanation is that Brinker has cloned himself and that his clone does the show while he is on the back nine. How else could you explain that Brinker has not taken a vacation day/weekend since I can remember? Did counsel foregt to make a ten weekend vacation clause as part of his contract renewal? No way. Or maybe Viagra has the side effect of wanting to work every weeken? But Brinker claims not to be on Viagra. Maybe Brinker can't stand the thought of hearing the Goddess hump her wares on the radio and will do anything to keep her off, including making a clone of himself. Sounds reasonable to me. I just wish he would take one weekend off so I could too. He is working me too hard for what I am being paid. Time to pass the union cards around.
