Thought I'd take a moment to post Harper's Weekly Review. They know how to mix the news and humor. Did the Daily Show get their ideas here?

Big uproar, or so the media makes it out to be, over the repeal and or extension of the Bush tax cuts from some years back. Appears they are going to extend for the middle class (<250k a year) and roll back for those earning more. One question no one ever seems to ask is how much money does one need? One article had read recently stated about $75k/yr to be happy. Some countries have a "Happiness Index" to measure how well the country is doing similar to our Gross Domestic Product which is only all about money. I've argued for a while now that no one, I mean no one, needs to make more than 100k a year. Believe will result in a much more civilized society with a great jump in overall happiness which will lead to improved productivity, less crime, etc...
Unfortunately, our society is too closely geared towards the almighty dollar. More on this later.
