In
Economics we all learned the law of supply and
demand. Were the airline business people out of
school that month? Every flight is packed yet the
airlines continue to lose money because of high fuel
prices and pretty soon they will be installing pay
toilets in aircraft. Read

New York City has
long been the highest tax jurisdiction in the United
States, but California politicians are proposing to
steal that brass tiara. California faces a $15

state Legislature have proposed closing the gap with
a $9.7 billion tax hike on business and "the rich."

The airlines just
don’t get it do they? First they can’t make money

afford the loans. You would thing that the mortgage
industry would embrace this proposal but you would be

I was
making a CD for a friend of mine and while I was
combing through my iTunes I realized that there just
isn't any good music out there anymore. I mean I
don't want to sound like an old fart but when I was
growing up we had Hendrix, The Beatles, Cream and the
doors. Now we have Justin Timberlake and Brittany
Spears and frankly neither of them can hold a candle
to real musicians. Read
