The crasis of the tax code is hardly simple. Hope your taxes are done, it's TAX Day and Obama is serious about getting your money. His cohorts will cheat and fail to pay, but you are not that special. He'll come after you.

Sorry for the late start of class, I finally started one, then noticed xs had requested I sub for her. Hadn’t seen it earlier. I was busy getting lunch together for the day guys at the station. I made them chili for lunch.

Well I think its the end of the bull market.

All the Ben Bernank’s money printing couldn’t keep the asset bubbles going.

If currency was collapsing, wouldn’t metals go up?

True. Currency is not collapsing.

In fact the attempt to inflate is, as we are seeign the metals, and commodities, and (I think) just starting in stocks, is a failure.

Deflation wins, at least for now and probably longer.

68 and partly cloudy-but by Wednesday, another cold front is due in, bringing nights in the 30’s and maybe rain-fine with me-the summer nights could stay around 50-55, and I’d be perfectly happy...

The crasis of the tax rules
Has gotten so out of hand
That even the accountants
Struggle just to understand

The meaning of the brackets
We are all supposed to fit
Into one way or another
But there is no sense in it

Perhaps the reason it exists
In such a ridiculous mess
Is to provide for thousands-
Via jobs with the IRS...

A+++ Now that the IRS will be monitoring our health care, we are doomed.

I don’t believe in no-win scenarios-we are never doomed unless we allow it, so take heart.

They have way too many other, easier ways to squeeze money from “the rich”-and rich seems to be anyone with a retirement account. Best just stuff a cushion with the money.

I would ask where everyone is, but given that it is tax day, that would be redundant...
