PERSONAL INCOME TAX: A tax on individual income. This is the primary source of revenue for the federal government, a big source for many state and local governments, and the reason most people dread April 15th. In principle, personal income taxes are progressive, based on a graduated tax scale. However, it's much more proportional today than it was several decades ago.

BLUE PLACIDOLA
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who wonders why golf is played at such a hectic pace. Family and friends often poke you to see if you are awake and alive. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a going out of business sale looking to buy either a bottle of blackcherry flavored spring water or a travel case for you toothbrush. Be on the lookout for attractive cable television service repair people. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter N, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 039270. Your preferred shopping venue is department stores. Your special symbol is the at sign (@).
Is this You?
As a Blue Placidola, you are easy-going and even-tempered, calm and composed. For you, the hectic pace of a crowded shopping mall during the holiday rush is nothing, it's little more than a tranquil stroll in the park. Life is good. Life goes on. Why worry. You are a happy shopper and you seldom fret over trivial details of a market exchange, in part because you are astute enough to get moderately low prices and relatively good deals.
This isn't me! What am I?

LONG-RUN MARGINAL COST The change in the long-run total cost of producing a good or service resulting from a change in the quantity of output produced. Like all marginals, long-run marginal cost is an increment of the corresponding total. It is the change in long-run total cost divided by, or resulting from, a change in quantity. Long-run marginal cost is guided by returns to scale rather than marginal returns.

A Tycoon Of The MUTUAL FUNDSWinston Smythe Kennsington III -- our second-estate financial maestro -- has given me a hot, and I mean REALLY HOT, investment tip. Waldo Industries, the parent company of Waldo's TexMex Taco World, is making plans to expand its franchises. Marketing studies show that people are ripe and ready for Waldo's Super Deluxe TexMex Gargantuan Tacos beyond the confines of Shady Valley. For a minimal investment, I can grab a share of this money-making opportunity. A minimal investment to our Ivy-League friend Winnie is $500,000. Unfortunately my bank account, including recent deposits of loose change found on our pedestrian trek, is a few zeros short. Is this another sure-fire financial opportunity that will pass me by?
