Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh frequently talks about the 'Limbaugh Echo Syndrome'. Rush contends that issues and concepts discussed on his show are frequently echoed in major media. Today, I experienced a Ravenwood Echo Syndrome. It was lunch time, and I was out driving around in my SUV polluting the environment, when I overheard Rush discussing my very own Child Tax Credit position.

Rush went so far as to say that those of us without children should be given a Child Tax Credit as well, because we have been footing the bill for years. This is the position I took last Monday.

"...why should single people continue to pay for everybody else's kids? You know there are a lot of people, who are single, who don't have kids, who don't get this exemption, who are ending up paying it for everybody else. [...]

"I think I'm gonna support this, I'm gonna suggest... single people with no kids get this child credit. I'm gonna fight for it because you people deserve it. You've been paying for others, you don't have kids, but you love 'em and you know they're the future of the country. [...]

"In order to be fair, to extend the fairness of this tax cut to everybody, people without children should be given the child tax credit exemption."

This is proof that material covered here on this web site is on the cutting edge. I am a man before my time. I may only be a week before my time, but I'm still before my time.
