Fight Fiercely, Harvard!

August 12, 2008March 11, 2017

DO OUR KIDS HAVE IT AS GOOD AS WE DID?

Stephen Tumbas: ‘How does our daughter’s job offer of $33K per year compare to our first salary in 1972 of $10K?’

☞ Poor kid. To match your 1972 $10,000, adjusted for inflation, she needs to be getting $52K. Use this handy tool to see for yourself.

Then again, she gets 152 cable channels and has GPS and a camera built into her iPhone. It’s hard to measure true equivalence.

AN INCOME STOCK

I bought some CPNO at $30.45 yesterday. I like the 7.5% yield.

WHY LIBERALS LOSE

Quote of the Day

"We've forgotten all the sacrifices that the people who've gone before us made to give us this wonderful life that we have. We accept it; we take it for granted; we think it's our birthright. The facts are, it's precious, it's fragile -- it can disappear."

Ross Perot, 1988
