Ladies and Gentlemen, I Give You The Age Of...

Over time we have had the Bronze Age, the Age of Enlightenment, the Iron Age, the Dark Ages, the Renaissance Period, the Industrial Revolution, the Stone Age and various other Ages and Periods scattered about. The time in which we now live just may end up being called the Age of Finger Pointing.

There are a lot of “fixes” out there but the Smartfella? thinks these “fixes” just may be the same “fix” over and over. Here are a few examples...
  • Cut the other guy’s salary ... not my salary. I need the money.
  • Raise the tax on cigarettes ... I don’t smoke.
  • Raise the other guy’s taxes ... not my taxes. I need the money.
  • Pay for my health insurance ... not his health insurance. He can afford it.
  • Cut the other guy’s pay increase ... not my pay increase. I need the money.
  • Cut the other company’s budget ... not my company’s budget. We need the money.
  • Increase my tax refund ... not his tax refund. He already has enough stuff. I need the money.
  • Lower my taxes ... not his taxes. He is rich and, if he were not rich, I would be rich.
Come to think of it, “they” may be right about “them”. Everyone knows that “they” cause all our problems ... or do they?

Would I kid u?
