Defining Things

When I go to see Theresa every 8 weeks or so, I need a hair cut. That means my hair has grown too long and it needs trimming back. If I had no hair, I would not need a hair cut.

When we're out of town, we call Mr. Dwayne and he mows our lawn. Bob calls him and asks him to cut our grass. If we didn't have a lawn that had grown too tall, we would not need our grass cut.

If a business makes not profit, it does not need a tax cut or an increase in its expenses.

If an individual makes no $ and pays no income tax, he/she does not need a tax cut.

By definition, those without do not need them cut. Let's keep those definitions in mind. I have not found Obama's economic stimulus plan on line. He has promised to post it so we all can read it.

If you don't have hair, you don't need it cut. If you do not have a lawn, you do not need it cut.

An income tax cut should imply taxes were due and then reduced. Otherwise, it's a redistribution of wealth. Joe the Plumber understands that.

'til later
