Gone Wild
The story begins several months ago when Christopher banished a half-used bag of russet potatoes to the dark, cool, cavernous area below his kitchen sink. Shoving the plastic bag in the cabinet, he went on with his daily activities like learning. The potatoes didn’t fare well in “the hole.” As a matter of fact, it wasn’t long before the eyes, shrouded by the darkness, began to spore tiny green tentacles. Their once tough brown skin loosened as the starchy insides shrank, becoming loose and leathery. Desperate for water and sunlight, the roots took on a flesh color and began to slide along the press board bottom until they reached the side.

Here’s a cold reality that none of the presidential candidates want to tell you: A shrinking number of Americans are bearing an ever bigger share of the nation’s income tax burden. Is that fair? is it sticking the rich with what they deserve? Or is it a sign of a growing social problem? As you file your tax return, and as the candidates cite assorted half-truths about U.S. taxes, those questions are worth our attention - as long as we face the surprising facts.
