[] Q: What do the following have in common? constant variable distributive justice jumbo shrimp icy heat tax giveaway A: They are examples of oxymorons. >budget ax. They have *not* benefitted from Reagan's tax giveaways: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Tim, after you used "tax giveaway" in an earlier posting, I had hoped (obviously futilely) that it would not be used again. Several months ago I presented a model that went something like this. If someone broke into your home and took your TV set, but left your stereo, he did not give you a stereo; he took your TV set. If someone took 35% of your income, when he could have taken all of it, that does not mean that he has given you the other 65%. Taxes are not giveaways; they are takeaways! Why is that so difficult to understand? > tim sevener whuxn!orb David Olson ..!ihnp4!drutx!dlo
