Casino at Fault??? I don't think so!!!
Recently a casino was expanded to allow table games.
The reason for the expansion is to provide tax revenue to the state.
(You can't have it both ways. Well, Congress believes you CAN have it both ways.
Sin Taxes are used to fund programs that benefit seniors to programs that support the educational system for children. While this tax revenue is crucial to the health of these programs, Congress hopes the Sin Tax will reduce the use of these same products and activities it taxes. Stop usage; inc...

Dear Fairy God Mother, Please Help
Dear Fairy God Mother,
We can really use your help.
Many of my friends and I have purchased homes in order to raise a family and become part of the community. We purchased homes we could afford and work hard to make our mortgage payments. We've cut back on our cable TV service, our cell phone service, our social activities and spending so that we can continue to keep our written obligation to make our mortgage payments.
We do not decide whether or not to make these payments based on the value o...

What Have Parents Taught Their Children About Education
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn. ~ John Lubbock
Parents need to take responsibility for their child's education and behavior.
A generation ago, when a child came home from school with a note from the teacher, parents wanted the child to explain why. Now if a note has to be sent home, the parents want to know where the teacher is deficient, after all, their child could not be at fault.

Taxes, Rvevenue and the Deficit
Some may think that "Tax the rich, feed the poor, Till there are no rich no more" are only lyrics from the Ten Years After song "I'd Love To Change The World". Unfortunately, there may be some truth in those lyrics.
There is little debate that our country has a deficit that, if continues, could spell disaster to our economy. How to solve the problem continues to be debated. Cut spending? Tax the wealthy? Leave tax rates where they are in hopes to bring our country out of its economic malaise?
