Wink Proof that the Right wants people to be unhappy!

Quote:
The more progressive a tax system -- where higher tax brackets have higher tax rates -- the more likely people are to report feeling they live the "best possible life," according to a new study comparing 54 nations.

"The more progressive the tax policy is, the happier the citizens are," said University of Virginia psychologist Shigehiro Oishi, the lead author of the study.

My god, what about the poor rich people who have to sell all their wealth to meet their tax burden? Who worries for their happiness?

I am amazed that AML is apparently able to attend a college outside of Academia.

There's an institution a little up the road
From the academia and schools we know

A place we saw the standards low
And...dammit, I'm stuck...somebody get me a rhyming Becktionary!

From the academia and schools we know

A place we saw the standards low
With classes that cater to the very slow
