Speakout: Feb. 23, 2012

Percent

Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates. All were once 99 percent and are now 1 percent. So why aren't the credit-card babies asking them to pay their fair share? Is it because you need their "hard work" to send your hand-out message? Wanna be rich overnight? Play the lottery. But you still have to pay your fair share. Clueless college kids think graduating guarantees you a handout job. Deliver my pizza kids, and wait your turn at the top rung.

Ferry

It costs a little more to travel to Vermont. Our good friends at LCT have done away with round-trip tickets under the guise that too many people lose their return tickets. Bunk, it's all about extracting even more money for an essential service.

Hairdresser

If my hairdresser continues to use her cellphone to text while I am getting services from her, I am going to quit having her do my hair. It's rude and obnoxious. I am paying her for services and attention to my hair, and all she cares about is her next text coming in. I will give her time to read this and I know she will, and if it doesn't change, I will be looking elsewhere to have my hair done. Keep your personal life away from your job.
