LADY GAGA ~ i like it rough
Cause it's a hard life, with love in the world/And I'm a hard girl, Loving me is like chewing on pearls

STAIND ~ outside
All the times that I cried/My intentions were full of pride

PARAMORE ~ that's what you get
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here/'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here

the BLACK GHOSTS ~ full moon
In the full moons light I listen to the stream/And in between the silence hear you calling me

SOMETHING CORPORATE ~ if i die
But I've got to get out of here cuz you drive me up the wall/I've got to get out of here cuz I can't stand to fall
7. Where are you heading in life?
the AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT ~ something new
We all need a fix, I guess I need one too/But I'm trying madly to calm these nerves with something new

9. How did the last conversation go between you and the last person you fought with go?

Just talk yourself up and tear yourself down/You've hit your one wall, now find a way around

MOOD:  cold MUSIC: KANSAS ~ carry on my wayward son
for entertainment purposes only, i'm stealing this from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) killmewitaspork. i love it. and if you're into politics - which most of you on my f-list are - you'll get this easily :D
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 four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
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 so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
'I only got a dollar out of the $20 declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, 'but he got $10!'
'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!'
'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!'
'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, 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.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
