So, I couldn't find my wallet this morning. Looked everywhere for it. Yesterday's pair of pants, under the bed, in the car, on the kitchen counter... Then, while searching, I glanced at a newspaper:
House passes 90% tax on AIG bonuses. (Disregards unconstitutionality of the bill.)
Philly mayor proposes 36% property tax hike, new sales tax in $3.84 billion budget.
Illinois governor wants to raise income tax by 50%.
Budget deficit reaches $1.8 TRILLION.
And my favorite...
Federal government debt greater than the combined income of the the whole world!
After seeing all this I noticed my wallet lying on the floor by the back door. It was empty, except for a business card from my congressman, with the handwritten note, "Sorry I missed you, but thanks for your support." And this in tiny print, "Paid for with taxpayer dollars."
