This can happen because the rich can more easily convert their assets from money into things like real estate, gold or other assets whose value rises with inflation. But a welfare mother is unlikely to be able to buy real estate or gold. She can put a few dollars aside in a jar somewhere. But wherever she may hide it, inflation can steal value from it without having to lay a hand on it. No wonder the Federal Reserve uses fancy words like "quantitative easing," instead of saying in plain English that they are essentially just printing more money. The biggest and most deadly "tax" rate on the poor comes from a loss of various welfare state bene- fits—food stamps, housing subsidies and the like—if their income goes up. Someone who is trying to climb out of poverty by working their way up can easily reach a point where a $10,000 increase in pay can cost them $15,000 in lost benefits that they no longer qualify for. That amounts to a marginal tax rate of 150 percent—far more than millionaires pay. Some government policies help some people at the expense of other people. But some policies can hurt welfare recipients, the taxpayers and others, all at the same time, even though in different ways. Why? Because we are too easily impressed by lofty political rhetoric and too little interested in the reality behind the words. H Taxing the poor Continued from page 3 A rising demagogue coined the phrase "starving billionaires," because even a billion Deutschmarks was not enough to feed your family. That demagogue was Adolf Hitler, and the public's loss of faith in their irresponsible government may well have contributed toward his Nazi movement's growth. Most inflation does not reach that level, but the government can quietly steal a lot of your wealth with much lower rates of inflation. For example a $100 bill at the end of the 20th century would buy less than a $20 bill would buy in 1960. If you put $1,000 in your piggy bank in 1960 and took it out to spend in 2000, you would discover that your money had, over time, lost 80 percent of its value. Despite all the political rhetoric today about how nobody's taxes will be raised, except for "the rich," inflation transfers a percentage of everybody's wealth to a government that expands the money supply. Moreover, inflation takes the same percentage from the poorest person in the country as it does from the richest. That's not all. Income taxes only transfer money from your current income to the government, but it does not touch whatever money you may have saved over the years. With inflation, the government takes the same cut out of both. It is bad enough when the poorest have to turn over the same share of their assets to the government as the richest do, but it is grotesque Letter to the Editor Writer advocates armed protection of school children The logic of some supposedly smart people just amazes me! On Meet the Press Sunday morning Diane Feinstein vowed to renew the battle to control gun ownership by law-abiding citizens by introducing legislation the first thing Monday morning. But she strongly balked at the suggestion that schools should be encouraged to assure that some means of armed protection is provided at every school. This is America, she said, and having guns in school is unAmerican! Now how much more stupid than that can a Senator get? If our children, while in school, do not deserve armed protection either by uniformed armed guards, or at least by qualified teachers and administrators, then who does? Why permit policemen to carry guns to protect anybody anywhere? Why not just disband our armed forces and turn control of whole world over to the very well armed violent nuts ? Is this problem really so complicated as we keep making it? Occasions for the responsible use of guns are very limited: They consist of nothing more than hunting, safely managed target shooting as a sport, and the defense of human life. Without close supervision, nobody should be handling a gun unless they understand this. Use of a gun for any other purpose is irresponsible, dangerous, and should be treated as a very serious criminal matter. No more mere hand-slapping. Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture, but their gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept. Obviously our gun problems issue from factors within our culture other than the inherent character of guns. How is it that the only school in the country that has been able to muster the courage and imagination to try to responsibly and economically protect their children in what is, at least for them, the most reasonable manner is in Harold, Texas. Five years ago they instituted a policy wherein select teachers and staff members are permitted to carry guns on campus. My son, Jonathan, teaches school in North Carolina. From some influence upon his life he somehow acquired the facility to, on occasion, be something of a ranter. On Saturday he made the following post on his Facebook page: "In 1974 three Palestinian gunmen attacked a group of Israeli school students and killed sixteen teenagers. Since then Israeli teachers C-3 H Merry Christmas Court report Criminal Docket Pike Circuit Court In re: search warrant. In re: search warrant. In re: investigation of subpoena duces tecum.

How many have to die in this country before we learn from the example of Israel? "This is a controversial viewpoint, I know, but we must keep all options on the table in the name of protecting our children. I am a teacher, I would die to protect my children—and YOURS. But why must that be my only option? If someone comes into my classroom to hurt your child, why can I not exercise my 2nd Amendment right as a law-abiding American in order to protect your son or daughter? Why must my only choice be to become a martyred hero like Liviu Librescu?" Folks, it's a good question, isn't it ? Al Foust Call Us Today CHARGED Don't Get Too Much For Your Newpaper Subscription!!

It was sent purely because I was thought of at the most joyous time in the year and expressed a sincere wish that I would catch the spirit of the great festival and that I would banish from my heart any old sores that might be there against anybody on earth. And that card has helped me to do that very thing times without number. Most of us want to forget the hard knocks of the year and at Christmas time we should and if our actions toward others show that we have banished all the ill feeling toward them as well as against the balance of the world, they will accept us at our real value. That's one of the missions of Christmas. Christmas time is a time to put the eleventh commandment into practice. I know, for once, a fellow tried it on me, and it worked. We had thought we were bitter enemies. In the heart of a fight over a community matter we had both said and done things that completely separated us for life. We each lived as if the other did not exist. But after a few years a Christmas time came on. A mutual friend dropped into his place and in discussing some plans suggested something for this man to do. He said he could not on account of me. Then this mutual friend came to me and wanted to know about it. What particular thing had this man done to me? And do you know I couldn't tell. Without going into details, before the day was over our difference had been ironed out and as long as my once bitter enemy lived, from that time on no two firmer friends existed. We had come to understand each other's view-point and it was my pleasure before he died to be of inestimable service to him and got a lot of joy out of it that I would have been deprived of but for the Christmas spirit. This Christmas let's forget about those present we feel like we ought to buy because the other fellow will buy us one and spend our money on those who need to be taught that there is a Santa Claus and do a little more practicing that Commandment to "love our neighbor as ourself," and see what a difference it makes in OUR Christmas for it will set the joy bells a-ringing in our own hearts and the world will look much better to us and as we smile at it, the smile will be returned. Continued from page 2 Christmas celebration in my time. Back in the old log house on the farm with an orange and a candy apple in my stocking hung at the fire board and a new McGuffey Third Reader in the chair where I had placed my clothes the night before, there was joy supreme. No boy could have been happier, even in spite of the fact that the thing I most wanted for Christmas was a buck saw. And I was at peace with the world, even with the teacher at the old school house who had so shamefully thrashed me without cause—from my point of view. But I was at peace with all the world and loved everybody. And Christmas is a good time to make peace with those we feel have mistreated us. Often times, and for most of the times, our mistreatment is similar to my mistreatment by that wonderfully kind hearted and patient teacher. He held no grudge against me and was not even mad at me. I was the only one mad and after I attained but a few more years realized just what his chastisement meant for my good. It is a good time to be tolerant of the other fellow. Forget how queer he acts for our actions may be as queer to him as his are to us. It is a good time to spread that "peace on earth good will to men" and we can do it without making the long journey the wise men made in following the star but the star is there just the same. Back in pioneer days, we had the jingle bells on the sleigh and visited throughout the neighborhood. We could sing of a truth. "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh." But in these days of automobiles traveling up and down the improved highways at 50 and 60 miles an hour, with the service department of the highway commission cleaning off the snow almost as fast as it falls, there is no place for the sleigh bells except in our hearts. One of the finest customs that we have tended to do away with the commercialization of Christmas is the habit of sending cards to friends. If I get a card from a friend I know he or she had to think of me at least long enough to address the envelope, seal it and place a stamp on it. And, I further know that this friend did not send the card expecting H Points to ponder Continued from page 2 on a scale unimaginable and unheard of before the Industrial Age now almost seem common. The call to ban guns will be heard, but anyone intent on killing another can use a knife, fork, bomb, gasoline tanker, fertilizer, pick axe, automobile, broken bottle, blunt object, rope, and—the list is endless. What can one say? How do we define evil? How do we recognize it? The police investigators have reassured us that the motive and the timeline will be pieced together, and we will have the answers. And that will change what? The call for fewer guns and more mental health screenings will not put an end to sin and evil because it resides within mankind. The Apostle Paul writes about this dilemma found within humanity, and it is bleak. But he reminds us those who have placed their faith and trust in Christ Jesus have the tool of the Spirit of God to overcome sin and evil. Paul writes, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace" [Romans 8:6]. Think about it!
