Speak Out 9/28/11
PRESIDENT Obama and Warren Buffett, if you think you're not paying enough in taxes, then please, write a check. Don't change the whole tax code just because you want to pay more. We don't need to. Get your pen out. I heard you say it recently, you've got your pen ready. Write a check, pay more taxes...

PRESIDENT Obama and Warren Buffett, if you think you're not paying enough in taxes, then please, write a check. Don't change the whole tax code just because you want to pay more. We don't need to.

Customer parking
THIS is directed to the business owners and employees of the businesses in uptown Jackson: Please don't use your customers' parking places. I see business owners park their cars right in front of their business. Where do your customers park?

Ling speech
THIS is for Lisa Ling. I didn't see your speech, but I feel like I know where you were coming from. Thanks but no thanks. I'll wear my American-style glasses. I like the view from here. I kind of like the way they look on me, too.
Beautiful roads
CONGRATULATIONS, Jackson. You now have gravel roads on South Farmington Road and West Washington Street. That is progress. I think you can change the name of your city to to the city of beautiful homes, churches, parks, schools and roads.
Slow spending
THE European Union is about to break up because some of the countries are too far in debt to pay off their creditors. We need to watch this closely. It is the future of the U.S. We have a debt and spending problem that we may not be able to work our way out of. It is very important that we slow down spending and start paying our debts.
