This "taxpayer", paying his "fair share", missed the storm last night that knocked down my tree. You see, I was too busy paying taxes to subsidize the food stamp program. And as we all know, this socialized federal program , is one of the main factors driving our economic recovery. Thank you, Barry Soweto, for your economic wisdom and unparalleled foresight. November can't come soon enough.
