NO WONDER

APRIL 24TH, 2007, WAS THE SINGLE BIGGEST DAY OF TAX COLLECTIONS IN U.S. HISTORY - 48.7 BILLION DOLLARS. HOW RIGHT, MEET, PROPER AND JUST IS IT THAT THE WEALTHY SHOULD FINANCE THIS COUNTRY? THAT THE WEALTHY SHOULD FINANCE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLIC SPENDING? THAT THE WEALTHY WHO LIFT THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE TAX BURDEN STILL COMPLAIN THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE POOR (WHO PAY NO TAXES) ARE UNFAIRLY BURDENED DOWN BY TAXES? THAT SOME OF THE RICH WHO DO NOT FAIRLY CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR GOVERNMENT (BY TAX EVASIONS) ADVOCATE THE WEALTHY PAY MORE IN TAXES?

OBVIOUSLY, WEALTH DOES NOT EQUAL BRAINS. WEALTH DENOTES AN ACCUMULATION OF MONEY, NOT WISDOM OR COMMON SENSE. A MAXIM FROM PUBLILIUS SYRUS, 42 B.C., SAID, "GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD SENSE ARE TWO OF LIFE'S GREATEST BLESSINGS." NO WONDER AMERICA IS A LAND OF DOOM AND GLOOM. NO WONDER, BECAUSE BOTH RICH POLITICIANS AND WEALTHY CITIZENS HAVE NOT A GUESS THAT THE SECRET OF WEALTH AND HEALTH IS RATIONAL THOUGHT.
