The Simple Math


The WSJ published an article about the math of taxation and the diminishing returns that increasing tax rates generate--it's been studied pretty thoroughly at some of our best universities and, using non-political analysis, it basically said that at best, there isn't much more blood to be had from the turnip that is "rich folks" to fund the $1.2 trillion needed for the new healthcare concept. (There also are not enough doctors.)

I'm gonna keep looking for Goerthe's dog:

Ein Hundchen wird gesucht,
Das weder murrt, nocht beiBt,
Zerbrochene glaser friBt
Und Diamanten schieBt

Wanted: a small dog that
neither growls nor bites, can
eat broken glass and shit diamonds
