The only claim to fame Boomers have is they like to spend a lot and not pay the tab.  The massive budget deficient is largely thanks to them partying at our expense.  But despite their massive spending what have they achieved? Nothing! I think it is time for your generation to retire.

Overall we have no one to blame but ourselves.  We live in a open democracy and have had numerous elections to force change, but we just went with the status quo again and again.

This year GE paid no federal taxes.  Look GE pays top dollar for their talent.  There is no way that the IRS can compete against GE.  So what do you do?  You Nerf the tax system.  You get rid of all of the loopholes and special interest tax breaks.  If you keep the system so simple it does not matter how smart GE is because their is nothing to take advantage of.  This will benefit small business and hard working Americans by leveling the playing field.  You make X amount then you pay Y amount in taxes.  Easy Enough?

Case in point. I am going to earn a nice little amount from my side job this year. Because of this I will have to redo my estimated tax worksheet to avoid a tax underpayment penalty. Now do I need to file a schedule SE? I have nothing against paying a fair share of my taxes, but it should just be automated and simple. Lawyers and accountants add nothing of real wealth to this country but we, I mean they, have built a system that requires way too many of them. If you think I am wrong.  Answer this one question.  Would you pay a lawyer or an accountant if you didn’t need them?  No you would not, because in business we call them administrative overhead and you try reduce your overhead as much as possible because you would rather pay someone to create a good or value added service.

Adopting the flat rate on a progressive scale, the government then should eliminate all tax credits, write-offs and other deductions, an action that would enable the IRS to drastically reduce paperwork for taxpayers and for the agency. In one page, a tax filer should be able to provide his total income and the amount of tax owed. Done.

Don’t get me wrong I could careless what religion you practice, or the lack of religion you practice.  I just like covering all my bases.  It is the same reason why I recommend black churches to post a few white people at night to prevent the Klan from starting any fires.

Double Wide Love on Aisle 2

I love how we give fatties a handicap tag, when instead we should be giving them a fat tag.  Why should they get a spot right next to the store when they should park at the furthest away spot.

I don’t understand how people can let themselves get that huge and not think “Hey, maybe I should take this IV full of bacon out of my arm ,or what should look like an arm,  and go walk a few laps around the block!” Maybe you should not buy food if you are too fat to walk to that food.  We have military veterans with blown off limbs but these land whales take up their parking spots and all of the scooters just because they have lost all self control.

Walmart used to only have a few handicap spots, but now they have a whole handicap parking section.  Go to any of the theme parks now and they have scooter rentals for people too fat to actually walk around the parks. Now they can scoot around from donut shops to burger bars to ice cream stores and never have to walk a step and waste calories! The roller coasters now even have their own fat-row with bigger seats/harnesses so the lard mountains can ride them.  We are now catering to the lowest common denominator,  it is like “no fatty left behind”

A ban on phosphates, the hardworking and good main ingredient in most automatic dishwasher detergents, takes effect in 16 states on July 1st, however this ban will become a de facto ban everywhere.  Procter & Gamble and other major manufactures have decided to removed all phosphates from all consumer dishwasher detergents. I feel that P&G did this for three reasons, 1 they will look eco friendly to their Al Gore loving, hippie, baby boomer target market.  This brings us to 2 and 3, the real reasons why P&G removed phosphates. The cost of phosphates has dramatically increased over the past few years.  The other real reason why P&G removed phosphates is to simplify their supply chain.  Why have two different detergents when you can just have one and enjoy the cost savings.  The ban is just a smoke screen for P&G to save money and to charge you more.  However what this mean for you and me is dirty dishes.

Dirty Dishes - Won't Wash Off

I learned this the hard way.  A few weeks ago I noticed a white film that would not come off my dishes.  I first looked on the internet to see what was going on.  I quickly learned that the hippies got phosphate banned because it can cause algal blooms in our waterways.  Granted we can filter out most of this phosphate before it gets in our waterways, but this did not stop the hippies from banning it because anything man-made is bad in their book.

At this point I called up P&G and asked them if I can still buy phosphate dishwasher detergent.  They started to proudly say that they don’t sell any products with phosphate in it.  I quickly interjected, by saying that I am not some eco hippie and I WANT phosphate. The P&G customer support rep was unsure how to answer this request.  I think he was told not to answer my question, but he gave me two free coupons for any cascade product so that was cool.  Granted I can’t buy anything that will clean my dishes with them at any retail store.

I did find one way around this ban.  Because the ban only affects consumer products, you can buy the commercial detergent with the cleaning power of good old phosphate.

My dishes are clean again.   You can see if your P&G product still has phosphate by going to this site The MSDS Page Search.

Soon we will be told what cars we can buy.  Oh I forgot that day is already here.

“The Industry Thinks We’re All 17-Year-Old Douchebags”
When will game developers realize that the market has expanded a lot in the last 15 years? The same 17 year old douchebags that were around 10-15 years ago are now 27-35 year old that still play video games. Maybe we don’t play hours and hours like before, but we have more income now and we will play when our wives are watching Grey’s Anatomy.
