Miss Lisa Brown likes to use incentives to encourage her students to try hard and excel. She told her students they could have a "Silly String" battle with her if they cooperated in class and did their work. Good behavior, attendance, and doing their best kept students from receiving a tally against them. The students who received less than five tallies were able to participate.

THERE ARE some -- and rightfully so -- who will always argue that there is a better way to do things than to tax The People.
We count ourselves among those who believe that The People are 
generally over-taxed, and deserve a lot more consideration than is given them by the so-called "leaders" among us who seem to thrive on taxes and dwell on the subject of "MORE!" No constructive ideas.
Having said that (and most of Ol' Tuck readers are already aware of our position on taxes being created by casual people with ambitious fantasies), we believe that if there is such a thing as a "fair" tax, it has to be one that will serve ALL of us equally, effectively, and in the long run.
