I owe a lot to my Junior High School and 2 years of Senior High School (same guy) band director. I contacted him a few years ago, and to my amazement he remembered me as well.

I think it's a shame that they cut music out of school budgets when the richest of the rich pay less tax than the janitors that clean their bathrooms. I was a my mother-in-laws and she had the TV on. This guy had 6 personal jets, from a small one to a 737, 3 huge homes, and all kinds of other goodies. The janitor that cleans his office pays more income tax in real dollars.

A few months ago, I read this in the "Palm Beach Post"; the CEO of GE was defending the fact that GE paid no US taxes at all last year.

Yet when we can't balance the budget, what to they cut? Education, social security, medicare, and the stubborn refuse to let the richest of the rich pay their fair share of taxes.

It's a sad situation.
