Beware the Under Toe!

Enough! I hate when my bloggery commentationalism turns political, because my rantings rapidly turn semi-incoherent however right my underlying instincts may be (no, really). All I know is Kennedy was right when he asserted (with proof) that tax cuts generally lead to higher tax revenues, and Bush proved it, and so did Clinton, so quit with the tax-cuts-are-only-for-the-rich Left Coaster-isms already. All I also know is it sucks that if my capital investments make gains, I owe income tax on all the difference, but if they make losses, I can only write off three grand of it. Three grand is not enough! I sold GE (at a loss) the other year to pay off some of the house, enough to keep those losses carrying over against taxable income at 3k per year for the next seven freaking years. How stupid is that? It means any more losses I incur (plenty of opportunity for it these days) can't be written off until, geez, Obama's third term! Choke! (So I shouldn't have sold? Hello? Stock market, or lower mortgage? Come on, quick now, easy question.)

So forget all that! Here's a picture of some toes near and dear to me.

Pretty! I never do my toes. Should.

You seem kind of crabby. I think I'd be in a better mood if I lived with such pretty toes.

I think I know those toes.

Anyway, don't complain! You had enough stock to sell off to help with a mortgage.

No one said that tax cuts are only for the rich, what I said was the rich did receive a tax cut, in time of war yet, and there is something wrong with a billionaire CEO receiving a lower tax rate than someone who makes $45K per year. Even Warren Buffett said that.

With toes that cute next to you, I wouldn't worry about anything. Just sit around and count my lucky toes. :+)
