We sure would like to keep more of the money Alan works so hard for.

My sister sent me this link to a documentary about income taxes and how there is no law that requires us to pay this tax. I’ve just started watching it.

I’ve come to a point in the film where they’re talking about education, highway construction, and defense. Well they say our income taxes don’t pay for those things. IT DOESN’T?! I’m thinking. They are paid through state tax, gas tax, and corporate taxes. Then a question was raised as to where is the financial statement that shows how our money is spent. You know, I ask Alan this whenever tax time comes around. How is our money spent?

The film is very interesting so far. I believe it came out just this year. The director made it available on Google, the entire film is here, America: Freedom To Fascism.

Work in progress this Friday. It’s going to be tic tac toe. There’s supposed to be 5 rabbits and 4 carrots but I’m going to have 4 rabbits and 5 carrots. More carrots so the rabbits won’t go hungry. Silly. I know. Maybe I’ll just make 5 of each…

Realizations:

I sew very slowly, very, very slowly.

I obviously didn’t cut very carefully (there are points where there aren’t supposed to be points. That’s what happens when you are in a mad rush to make something).

And I don’t have nice consistent stitches (well not as nice as I would like but of course that will change with practice).

I love it when Isabelle eats in her little high chair and when I take her out there is all this food stuck on her big belly. In this picture she was eating Cheerios. When I took off her sweatshirt she had about 18 Cheerios in there. Stuck to her belly.
