BUFFETT SLAMS TAX CUT

CNN reports Warren Buffett’s criticisms of the Bush dividend tax cut plan and titles the link “Buffet calls tax cuts ‘voodoo economics.'” I don’t find the story that interesting but I am always puzzled when they use last names out of context. My first reaction was, “Why would Jimmy Buffett be talking about tax cuts?” I was very disappointed when I checked the link.

    Of course, Buffet would be talking about tax cuts! Keeping taxes high on alcohol would help to keep the “Department of Finding Salt Shakers” funded into the next decade!!

    Wasting away again in Margaritaville
    Searching for my last shaker of salt
    Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
    But I know it’s my own damn fault.

    Ack. Ok, so I’m a ‘parrothead’. Wanna make something of it?
