Taxes
October 15, 2008 – 12:17 pmThe Tax System – Explained With Beer
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
* The first five men would pay $0.60 (3%)
* The sixth and seventh would pay $5 (10%)
* The eighth and ninth would pay $8 (16%)
* The tenth man (the richest) would pay $71 (71%)
So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.
Since you are all such good customers,’ he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.’
‘Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.’
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. How could they divide the $20 increase so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they added that to everybody’s share, then the first five men would each end up gettind paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to increase each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
* The first five men now pay $0.55 instead of $0.60 ($.05 savings).
* The sixth and seventh now pay $4.50 instead of $5 ($.50 savings).
* The eigth and ninth now pay $6.50 instead of $8 ($1.50 savings).
* The tenth now paid $55.25 instead of $71 ($15.75 savings).
Each of the ten was better off than before and the first five continued to drink for pennies, but once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
“We only got $.50 out of the $20!” declared the six and seventh men. They pointed to the tenth man, “but he got $15.75!”
“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the eigth and ninth men. “We only saved $1.50. It’s unfair that he got $15.75 back!”
“That’s true!!”, shouted the first five men. “Why should he get $15.75 back when we only got 5 measly cents?! The wealthy get all the breaks! The system exploits the poor!”
The nine men surrounded the tenth man and said, “We’re going to create a fairer way to split the money tomorrow,” without thinking that over half were already being supported by the 10th guy.
So they call their friend Mr. Obama and this is what he suggests:
* The first five men now make $0.80 instead of paying $0.60 ($1.40 savings).
* The sixth and seventh now make $1.50 instead of paying $5 ($6.50 savings).
* The eigth and ninth now make $0.50 instead of paying $8 ($9 savings).
* The tenth now pays $90 instead of $71 ($19 increase).
The nine agreed to this, but the 10th did not, and since he voted out by the majority, he had no say.
The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. When it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even part of the bill!
As they walked out, they saw the 10th man across the street drinking with some foreign friends in a Chinese restaurant.
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed.

September 12, 2008 – 10:53 amA store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 – These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
‘That’s nice,’ she thinks, ‘but I want more.’
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
‘Wow,’ she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
‘Oh, mercy me!’ she exclaims, ‘I can hardly stand it!’
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 – You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.The second floor has wives that love sex, have money and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Let me explain to them what the job involves: I guess… I guess a small town mayor is sorta like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.
