It's Monday - so we are going to have an easy, one question 'Pop Quiz', remember them?

We keep hearing voices emanating from the White House about the evil, greedy oil companies, the grasping profiteers at the big box chain stores, the overpaid CEO's.

This is an 'open book' pop quiz. Look at the chart on the right. Two out of three of those graph lines represent industries that are supported in large part, by our tax dollars being thrown around by the Federal Gob'mint.

Billion$ are poured into student loans, Pell Grants, research grants, teacher salaries. Billions more are thrown at Medicare, disease control, medical research.

And the private companies, the small businesses, the Mom & Pop stores have to pay the taxes to support the largess of the gob'mint for the other two. But they are run by working folks, not gob'mint bureaucrats........

Okay Pilgrims, here's the tough question - Which two of the three lines are supported and directed by bureaucrats and politicians. Which one of the three lines is not only not supported, but has to fight over-regulation and taxation to support the other two?

That's all for today students. Grade your own papers and show your parents.......

By the way - don't let those $ signs take your eyes off the fact that we are looking at inflation increases of 950%, 600% and 300% in that short thirty year period!!!

According to the fair and balanced Boston Globe - Lizzie Warren, Harvard Law School professor (you know, that poor lil' Native American gal who calls herself a 99 Percenter) earned no less than $700,000 in just the two years of 2010/11 between her Harvard salary and consulting fees. It's enough to make her put on war paint I reckon! I wonder how many classroom teaching hours the tuition paying students received from her during those two years......
