Quote of the Week

Following in (sort of) the same vein as my last post, it's time for this week's Quote of the Week, courtesy of Larry David and the New York Times. From Mr. David's op-ed, "Thanks for the Tax Cut!", here it is:

This week's QUOTE OF THE WEEK

After years of coveting them, I’ll finally be able to afford blueberries. Did you know they have a lot of antioxidants, which prevent cancer? Cancer! This tax cut just might save my life. Who said Republicans don’t support health care?
                                    - Larry David; Creator/actor, "Curb Your Enthusiasm"

Great satire from David. He's not the only rich person to have a similar response to the tax cut extension--he's joined by Warren Buffett, Bill Gates Sr., and others, all of whom have a few bucks at stake.

  1. Love Larry David, but hate his poltical position. Yes it is less meaningful for someone worth 100 million+, but my guess is he doesn't pay close to the ordinary tax rate because of tax loopholes. He is perfectly able to donate the difference to the government if he so chooses.
