Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Is This Redistribution Of Wealth?


Let's ask those well-known experts on the topic, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Pell Grants, the Earned Income Tax Credit, Welfare Payments, Social Security Disability Income, Food Stamps, Medicaid?  "YES!"

Huge tax cuts for the wealthy, tax increases for the middle-class to pay for those cuts, take-over specialists like Bain Capital taking multi-million dollar management fees from soon-to-fail companies, privatizing Medicare for the benefit of the health insurance industry?  "NO!"

And now we know.  Gosh, thanks, Mitt and Paul!
