Of course you have the Voluntaryists, Individualist anarchists, objectivists, anarcho-capitalists, and libertarians seeing taxation as government aggression as we are forced to pay taxes (like we would pay if we did not have too).
As Franklin Roosevelt said "Taxes, after all, are dues that we pay for the privileges of membership in an organized society".
Or what about teachers, those money-grubbing thieves. Did you know that teachers "do not pay one cent of tax". YEA - who knew! Daniel Walker a Tea Party member clarified: "They get paid by our taxes and then they pay their taxes. So it's really like they don't pay any taxes at all."
WOW - this has to be looked into more deeply!!

Worked at Cannery yesterday and I want to know where everybody was - I sold about a QUARTER of what I normally sell on a Sunday. D. E. A. D. So where was everybody! Friday and Saturday were busy but Sunday? I had a chance to see BOTH Brewer games on TV, I could actually watch them, I was begging for customers to take me out of my nightmare (they lost both).
But I was able to play my new record by an old diamond in the rough musical group. The Faith Tones. I believe it was a fitness workout record!
A comment from the J-Walk Blog
I was a big fan back in the 60s, and played that album daily. I couldn't decide which one I liked best: Frances (the "cute Faith Tone"), Francine (the "pudgy Faith Tone"), or Franny ("the slut").
A few years ago, Toad sent me some FT bootleg recordings from a failed "come-back" tour in 1972. Unfortunately, the sound quality was bad, and it seemed like they had lost their edge.
Rumor has it that Franny went on to become a successful Jay Leno impersonator in Vegas. It's probably not true.
Any other Faith Tones fans?

We purchased a new Whirlpool washing machine Saturday. It's pretty cool. When you put clothes in it will weigh what is in it and adjust the water level accordingly saving water AND mankind.
It's all computerized and for some reason I let my guard down and I believe for the very first time in my life I purchased an extended warranty. Here is the thing. Last week all of our yard lights blew out and when I went out to look the metal AROUND the lights were bent out! Peeled back!!! WHAT UP WITH THAT!! All the lights burn out at the same time peeling the metal back?
So the washer guy says that if there is some electrical surge and it fries the electronics. I'm screwed unless I have the extended warranty. Add the Elwood TV blowing out and I'm on an electrical edge. . . .so I purchased it. DAMN ME!!!!
A Whirlpool washer has a 22% chance of needing repairs in the next three years! Plus we do get preventative maintenance once a year for three years . . . I'm sure they figure we will forget . . But I programmed it on my iPhone (which has broken glass) so . . . . . . . HA!!!!
It's 5.0 cubic feet and the guy asked if we had any children - I said know but we do have a dog, he would fit in it. I don't know, should I call child protection on this guy?

Have a wonderful week - it'll only be like 18 degrees below normal! AWESOME!!
Cheers
Rod
