My major is education. I'll be teaching social studies, but hopefully end up at a school with political science courses since that's obviously my passion. Considering all the tiny rural schools in Iowa, however, I could easily end up at a school without political science in the courseload.

And to quell all the private message gossip bantered about by you ladies I have never used a drug in my life...not so much as a toke of weed. I even restrict myself to one alcoholic beverage per night out, never once having been drunk in my 21 years. So if you're looking for the source of my "weird posts," it must be the cigars clouding up my brain.

Kenyth, taxes are going down more than a little for upper-income Americans. Since 2001, the top tax rate has fallen from 39.5% to 33%, the tax rate on stock dividends (which are largely held by those in the top income quintile) has fallen by half, and the "Paris Hilton" tax on inheritances is in the process of being wiped out entirely, and 98% of the people affected by that tax are in the top 0.2% of income earners. Considering the inflation of salaries for this income group over the same period, I'd say their doing pretty darn good for themselves in a time of war and perennial 12-figure deficits....and at a time where working-class Americans are undergoing what can only be described as financial genocide.
