In 2007, the last year the economy was expanding in the U.S., the average income of the 400 highest-earning households rose 31% to $345 million, fueled by capital gains and dividends.  The data, the latest available, may provide ammunition for Democrats aiming to increase the capital gains tax rate; each household paid an average rate of 16.6% – the lowest since the Internal Revenue Service started tracking data in 1992.

Given the set of articles published in the Worcester T & G this Sunday, I can only surmise that there has been a palace coup in the editorial offices of the newspaper.  To see so much information in this newspaper supporting the Democratic agenda has left me gasping for breath.

Up until this point, I have been at a complete loss for words as to what could be said about Tiger Woods problems.

Diane Williamson has done a beautiful job of finding the words.  She has written the speech that Tiger wanted to give.

To call a man a sex addict is like saying that frogs are addicted to hopping.

Maybe someday I’ll be forgiven. Maybe someday, when the media turns its attention to the next celebrity cheating scandal, I can jet off to Vegas and look up that babe with the enormous knockers. When all this nonsense dies down, I fully expect to hop into bed with the first bimbo who catches my eye. Please accept my apology in advance.

The article is loaded with facts and figures about the jobs that have been created or saved in Massachusetts.  There is even detail by city and town in the area surrounding Worcester.

Our recently elected Senator Scott Brown was campaigning on the fact that the stimulus package did not create a single job.  This article proves just how absurd that claim was.

Imagine what might have happened if this article had been published before the election.  From my reading of letters to the editor and the newspaper’s on-line site, it looks like the majority of the voters believed Brown’s claim.

I’d like to believe that my constant haranguing of the paper on their web-site prompted them to rethink the service that they were providing to the community.  They even quoted one of the local economic experts that I have repeatedly suggested.  (They had already published an article by him in the past, so it was not like I was introducing them to someone they did not know.)

Whatever prompted the newspaper to commission this work and to publish it, they deserve heaps of praise for doing so.
