What does it mean for you and me?
Well part of me wants to focus on that it's the day we find out where Randy Moss is going to end up after being cut by Brad Childress I mean the Vikings. But considering my 4 followers are women I figured I better stay away from the sports since that has kind of been the focus of my previous posts.
Historically speaking there has really been nothing cool that has happened on this date. Bob Feller a fellow Iowan that is in the baseball hall of fame was born on this day but there again we leaning towards the sports theme. So how about this....on this date in 1913 the United States government through the 16th amendment to the US Constitution made an income tax a permanent part of the U.S taxation system. Which made me think of this episode of School House Rock that I remember watching as a kid. Which will tie into my next blog post on the 8th so just a heads up and put it on your calendar so you don't forget.
But in all actuality and in relation to politics; what myself and most people across the country are most excited for today is that there will be no political adds on TV tonight or for quite some time. Does all the money spent on them really work? For me I don't vote for someone because of the ads they show; I end up voting against them for their ads because they all become so negative especially the closer it gets to election day. Does the $3.3 billion dollars spent this year alone help anyone other than the TV stations & national networks that receive the majority of the money and the politicians and their campaigns or the political interest groups that spend the money directly or indirectly on them? And yes I understand that "some" of that money goes to employees who spend money locally and so on and so forth.....I'm just saying in my eyes there's better ways to use those funds. Oh well at least we're back to our standard Viagra, Bud Light and Tampax commercials.
And in case you were wondering it was the Titans.
ReplyDeleteI remember that bill video too. The saddest part of it is when he said he hopes and prays he will become a law. These days, they'd have to leave out that part about praying. :(
