It Ain't Right

Image via WikipediaToday, on our way to meet my MIL, we were listening to NPR. The state of California is, once again, experiencing a budget crisis. Governor Schwarzenegger was discussing his plan to raise taxes as a means to increase the state's revenue. Peanut, ever the idealist, piped up and said, "Doesn't he know that you don't raise taxes during a recession?"

Seems even a 10 year-old can figure that one out. I didn't even have to explain the inequality of sales tax to her. Smart kid, that one.

Not bad for a liberal, eh Dad?

Sheesh! Smart kid, and only 10? My 7 year old daughter was very interested in the election, partly thanks to my ranting over that crazy bitch who we refer to in my house as "she who shall not be named". I hope my kid remains interested; I'm going to do my best to teach her what I know.

Poor Governator, getting competition from a kid. ;)
