Far East Cynic

While I was out

It has been a busy week and had no time to post. Pretty successful round of meetings this week and then a side trip to go see my father. We set out to return to Deutschland tomorrow, hopefully, to arrive not too jet lagged on Sunday morning.

I have been doing a lot of deep thinking this week-but not really coming to any conclusions as yet. Bought some books and have been doing some research on various and sundry opportunities. There are lots of things I want to do-just no resources to do them with. Suspect this remorseful looking introspection will continue to the end of the year.

I do know I am sick of hearing about the Fiscal Cliff:

First of all, it is not a cliff-its just a speed bump-one that the country should be able to deal with. Second, the solutions have been in front of the GOP for months. They just need to come to grips with the fact that rich bastards have to pay more taxes. As will I. If I can deal with it-I know those worthless fucks can.

Now if you will excuse me-I have to go sulk some more.

  1. I vote that they eliminate the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion from the fatcat expats and include the housing allowance as earned income as well. 

  2. Please, the rich folks have already figured out the loopholes in Obama's plan and have moved their money around to avoid paying any more taxes. The only ones who end up paying are the poor saps that can't afford to have some whip smart tax people on retainer to shelter their money. Warren Buffett makes how much each year and yet he complains when his percentage is lower than the help at Bershire Hathaway?
