SOMEDAYS........

These days I feel like the wee fish in this photograph, know what I mean? Is the shark ready to eat, or just having some shark fun?

In my ocean my IRA is drastically depleted, investments I worked for diligently have lost value (ok I took those risks) however, taxes on them are not decreasing even when their value does,(explain that to me please.) I did the right thing, worked all of my life, paid my share, and now when things should begin to get easier, all of the effort was not enough. Amen.

So, I shall continue to work, do the right thing, and continue to be in the company of sharks, of that I am certain. Now I am not opposed to big fish living off smaller fish, (and vice versa), I love capitalism, but when the biggest fish becomes the only one in the ocean....then what???? I am trying not to have trepidation about the path we are on,(or ocean we are in), but Holy Toledo where is the common sense these days. One cannot bleed our small business' to death and expect everything to get better.
That is accounting 101....no?
