About Me
- Name: Snave
- Location: La Grande, Oregon, United States
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

There was a story on Think Progress a few days ago, about a wealthy German industrialist who was being interviewed on a conservative program. The interviewer kept wanting to talk about how high the taxes are in Germany, and the German industrialist kept not responding.
Finally the interviewer came right out and asked him how much he paid in taxes. The German guy said he didn't know. The host kept pressing him, and finally the German said "I don't care how high my taxes are. What else am I going to do, live in a poor country just so I can pay lower taxes?"
(Not an exact quote but that was the gist.)
I love it. The guy makes so much sense.
Everyone likes those things. Just keep in mind that, to use the unforgettable words of hotel magnate Leona Helmsleyy, "Only the little people pay taxes."
Presumably, "big people" shift their responsibilities to, and sponge off of, little people. At least, this is what conservatives and Republicans presume. It's so dumb, I think a lot of "big people" don't buy into it. Warren Buffett, Al Gore and Michael Moore, for instance.
I am poaching this for my site!
