America needs a graduated income tax that resembles that introduced by FDR. Change it to reflect modern issues, but we need to change the trend of income inequality.

A friend has released a mystery novel that was written by his late husband. An act of love. It is set in New Orleans in the later 1970’s (shortly after the time when my New Orleans novel is set) and offers insights into gay life in the city at the time and the academic milieu. I highly recommend it

Tariffs will fall disproportionately on the poor and middle class. The better off only use a portion of their money to buy things and the rest to generate more income. What a ficking duck! #fickingduck

Growing up in New Orleans, we’d make a gesture by pointing one’s pointing finger at someone and taking the other hands pointing finger and “shaving” it down the first finger towards the fingertip. It was the sign for “Shame, shame”. I just realized this wasn’t universal. Anyone else do this?

For the one follower who will read this…A graduated income tax lays the burden equitably (rich pay more, but still have lots more money than mid or low income folk). Tariffs, flat tax, sales tax all take more from available capital of the poor and middle class. Rich make out like bandits. #truth

True story. As a newlywed in 1979 I took a job with the IRS. The top tax bracket was about 78%. Today, the top tax bracket is 37%. Tax cuts for the wealthy are the reason the top 10% own 78.2% of total wealth in the US. It is past time to raise taxes on the wealthy. #taxtherich #fixincomeinequality

Does anyone else thing that Donald Trump
has a deeply buried desire to be humiliated? His actions,
both domestically and internationally, seem to ask for disdain and reprobation. I think there is some Shakespeare level shit going on.

Perhaps those parents that aren’t worried about measles would be more concerned if they knew that almost every child who got measles was scarred for life. Sometimes on the face, sometimes other places, but almost every child was scarred. I know. I have measles scars.

Editing and re-writing are no fun for me. If only I could write perfectly on the first go round.

I'd watch tonight, but I have this absurd thing about not wanting to projectile vomit at the TV.
Yeah I was going to watch tonight but my hour has come round at last and I have to slouch off to Bethlehem to be born

It is beyond ironic that a
billionaire president has brought in the richest man in the world to rein in spending that mostly benefits the poor and middle class. Tax the rich and leave poor folks’ benefits alone.

Stephen is right. Much like boycotts during the Civil Rights movement, we have to flex our economic power to rein in our own oligarchs. Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Pass it on! #taxtherich #resist

Selected a pic from dozens I took in the French Quarter to be my time travel novel cover, and had it drawn. 1 1/2 years later we rented an apt in the Quarter. Months later it was pointed out to me. Look closely at the buildings and book cover. Coincidence??? #timetravel #synchronicity
