Do not cry for me, Pebble Beach

17 mile road is beautiful; glad we biked the extra miles to see the coast along that section between Monterey and Carmel.

I heard it might cost $500 to play a round of golf along that coast. And I found that shocking. Then I realized that it likely always gets deducted off taxable income as a business expense.

I understand Boehner loves to play golf; and I can imagine he and Cantor being entertained by a bunch of rich white guys, and then going on national television after a fine dinner and the most expensive CA wine - and complaining that the poor "don't pay any taxes; don't have any skin in the game".

And that is what makes me so sad about my country: such wealth, such beauty - and such unimaginable avarice.

(and, I might add, un-Christian behavior and policy, ironically - given that the likes of Ryan are so obsessed with the Bible - when it comes to women's reproductive health anyway.)
