If 10 per cent is good enough for Jesus, it oughta be enough for Uncle Sam!!

Dear McCrabby,

I got the job! It's been awhile and it's nice to get a check. I just wish I got the ENTIRE check. I hate to complain (I read your post on complaining and LOVED the video -- CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO), but the taxes are killing me. I don't remember it being this bad. Does this have anything to do with the bailouts of AIG, Goldman Sachs, and others?

Does it make any sense that taxes are this high?

Dear T in T:

When it comes to common sense, McCrabby has found it's an uncommon commodity. However, it seems that others are feeling the same tax pinch. McCrabby was going to post this thought on the weekend, as it goes with our weekend theory of lightening up the mood. But, McCrabby found an interesting theory on Youtube, and with our Republican governor's State of the State address and our Democratic President's State of the Union address, both of which promised tax cuts, we thought 'what the heck." Let's run this now:

If ten per cent is good enough for Jesus, it oughta be enough for Uncle Sam!!

So, sit back, and laugh (or cry) about the video below.

Note to readers: McC realizes that this isn't a solution that will work, so don't send comments about "how can you believe this?" and thoughts like that. The thought here is that if we reduce and simplify the tax plans, it'll be better for all, and we liked the song in the video. So just take it for what it's worth - a typical weekend-type column from McCrabby, that'll hopefully bring a smile, or a tear.
