And Then, Word Of The Month…

   Yup, happy to report I’m still here although the need to glue myself to the tap-top continues to wane somewhat.
   Well, so, word of the month? Tariffs of course and according to the MSM it’s the end of times. One has to guess who’s going to end up covering the added costs put on manufacturers, exporters an’ such, eh? Wot? It’ll be us down here? I’m utterly un-shocked.

Quote; Alan Keyes.

“The income tax is a twentieth-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 80 years ago, government had no claim to our income. Only sales, excise, and tariff taxes were allowed.”

Doonhamer,
Good point. Do 'we', in fact, make much of anything any more?
