Liberal Heart, Conservative Brain

If there's any wisdom in the apocryphal Churchillian aphorism, ""If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain," then this kid is about to be bumped ahead of schedule by about two decades.

Young Danny asks Gail Buckner for advice on where to tuck away college money for the next few years. Gail responds quite thoroughly.

In no fewer than 30 paragraphs, give or take a sentence or graph, Buckner provides insight into the newly changed tax laws for minors.

Either Danny will learn to hate the burdensome and cryptic tax system, becoming a died-in-the-wool conservative, or he'll opt for communism - mark my words.

His only other choice would be to become an accountant.
