As I start my eighth decade, I still don’t understand why rich people need a tax cut. It appears that with a few notable exceptions, they spend the savings on multi-million dollar weddings in a foreign country, buy things like the sled from the Citizen Cane movie for a reported $15 million or buy Martian rocks for $4 million. Oh, and take pleasure trips in their space rockets.
I also don’t get why American soccer teams have so much trouble beating island nation teams. We’re a nation of 340 million, they might have as many as 20 million people.
I don’t understand baseball fans who will watch a nine-inning snooze fest and then say “soccer is boring.”
The NFL is going to kill the “Golden Goose” with games nearly every day of the week and the addition of more rules every year.
The post office should deliver personal mail on Tuesdays and Thursdays only to save money. Raising the price of stamps is a non-starter.
