Okay not all better; but, better

The Pimpernel is better and is drinking fluids and eating soup. I actually took a day off to heal, not as young as I was. I slept a lot and tried to read the news. I read where Romney said that he wanted to get rid of some deductions; but, he didn't say which ones. I know which ones, the middle class ones and the one for homeowners. It is already being discussed. Romney's plan is to get rid of deductions for the middle class and keep them for the wealthy.

Richard Nixon was a working class guy, he did some bad things, things that other Presidents had done; but, still wrong. He also proposed a flat tax, 20% or so across the board on income. It is the simplest tax in the world. He also got us off of the gold standard and that was a good thing. There used to be a joke, the golden rule that the person who had the gold made the rules. What is gold, it is simply a metal that has limited uses beyond jewelry.

The moment you buy into gold, you buy into being used. You make a useless metal your God and you can be bought. I would rather have a sandwich than gold. I can live without gold, I cannot live without food. It is said that in heaven the streets are paved with gold, it is that meaningless and would make for lousy streets.

Still kind of out of it in my head. Sorry the post is not better. I did have a point; but, I lost it. Have a great night.
