A break in the clouds...

I was happy that uncle G- had sent something nice and was being somewhat concilliatory instead of getting angry or calling me crazy, but I wasn't prepared for this. It isn't bad, but I think it says something about what happens when you engage people in dialogue even when you disagree. If you start poking and annoying people, at the very least it shows them you are thinking and concerned and suddenly someone from the furthest opposite side of the politcal spectrum is asking for your opinion about taxes! I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the disagrements, but I've got to say that this was totally unexpected and very welcome. Wow!

Now I have to bone up on tax legislation...

(begin letter)


"Dear G-,

The typical investor gives up fifty (50%) percent of their income to taxes, while wealthy (people like Ross Perot and Bill Gates) pay only single digits-reportedly as low as 4% to 5%."
