Economics by Jarrett

I know we are all concerned about the economy these days. Joe and I are baffled by the whole 'wealth distribution' thing and I guess we have been talking about it a little too much around the house. While it would be great to get a little extra cash, it is simply ludicrous to tax those who 'make too much' and who are providing jobs! I digress... It's simple economics to me & apparantly to Jarrett too (he will be 3 next month)....

This morning Joe got hurt really badly (we still don't know if he threw his back out or tore something, but he is in a lot of pain). Jarrett was in the room when he had to call into work saying he would not be there today (which NEVER happens).
His response: "Daddy no work?"
Joe: "No son, daddy can't go to work today"
(brief contemplating pause)
Jarrett: "Oh, Daddy no money?"

And there you have it - economics that a 2 year old can understand. You work hard and you get your OWN money - DUH!!

Maybe you should have him write to Obama to teach him about where money comes from, and that you have to get it honestly.

Love the blog.
