An interesting perspective.

Hilarious Spoof of Tim Ferriss's (author of "the 4 hour workweek") writing style. 

Here’s what I want you to do: Take everything you thought you knew about becoming a dentist and write it down on a piece of paper. Now, crumple up that piece of paper and stuff that bad boy all the way down your throat until you can’t breathe. Find the nearest mirror. Are you turning blue yet? Okay pull that shit out before you die. You’re welcome — I just saved your life; now shut up and pay attention because here come the three rules of the 4-Hour Dentist.

Read it and laugh.

N. Gregory Mankew, professor of economics at Harvard University on how taxes on the wealthy will effect you and your children. In this New York Times piece, Using himself as an example, he describes the incentive effects of increased taxes on the individuals the current administration wants to raise taxes on: high income earners.

HERE’S the bottom line: Without any taxes, accepting that editor’s assignment would have yielded my children an extra $10,000. With taxes, it yields only $1,000. In effect, once the entire tax system is taken into account, my family’s marginal tax rate is about 90 percent. Is it any wonder that I turn down most of the money-making opportunities I am offered?

Wow, this brings back memories.
