Opus 2013-46: The 23 Cent Difference

I pay two different amounts for my coffee and bread in the morning.  Some days it costs me $2.50 and some days it costs me $2.73.  The order is the same, it just depends on whether they ring it up as “dine in” or “to go.” 

It is only a 23 cent difference.  That would seem to be no big deal but it is a 23 cent difference on $2.50.  A man I know who is into finance says that the hardest idea to get across to people is that financial success is a matter of percentages, not just dollars. 

Taxes are everywhere.  They are oppressive.  They suck the vitality out of the economy and our personal standard of living.  And our dear Governor Moonbeam wants to raise taxes again.

Keep voting the suckers out.
