April 15th – the Real April Fools Day

Welcome to the real April Fools Day. I was thinking about the three big Presidential candidates making their empassioned pleas for donations during the Idol Gives Back event last week. I saw only glimpses of the event but I was fortunate(?) enough to catch our candidates.

How much more could people give if we didn’t have this punative tax burden heaped onto our backs? After listening to all these politicians I finally get it. The whole problem with the the Government is that they don’t have enough of my money. I wonder what would happen if we had a fair tax system

By the way, what was with Bono defining the “new Americans” as the kind of people who will dig deep to give to Idol Gives Back? Seems to me that the “old” Americans have given quite a bit. Why are we even entertaining these ideas that there is something wrong with us?
