The world is such a ridiculously terrible place, I'm going to go look at the starlit sky to give me some hope.

An investigation shows that the buffet / secretary was a lie. The numbers are insanely fudged. For instance, Buffet only counted federal tax on his income, but then counted state tax on her. Then he listed the marginal tax rate for her, but listed average tax rate for himself. There are so many fudged numbers, anyone who looks into it sees how deceitful it was.

@ImaginedWriter There has never been a time in history that the world has been this much at peace. What generation of Americans have fought a war on their soil? Or Canada for that matter. War is only being fought in about half the world countries now. I agree we still got a ways to go, but don't feel too bad, this is the best we have ever had it.
