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.

"Albert Jones, Former Metal Worker" and Tax Expert


All tax experts wear hard hats, man buns and earrings.  Don't they?



This stupid ad is in heavy rotation in my area.  It's from the American Action Network, a conservative advocacy group headed by Norm Coleman, the right-tarded ex-Senator from Minnesota who lost to Al Franken.  American Action Network is a 501(c)(4), a "non-profit, social welfare organization."  Social welfare, my ass!

Here's a similar ad running now from the Business Roundtable:



The Business Roundtable is comprised of conservative CEO's from some of the biggest, most profitable corporations in the U.S., including AT&T, Xerox, Dow, AEP, Eaton, Exxon Mobil, GE, JP Morgan Chase, Walmart, State Farm, MasterCard, and American Express.

These business behemoths want you to believe that they're not making nearly enough money, and all those awful taxes are to blame.  If only they could get more tax "reform" (i.e., cuts), trickle-down miracles would occur.

Yeah, right.
