Make Work Pay Satan?
Next year, Obama's "Make Work Pay" tax credit will be evenly dispersed throughout the year. The cap for married filers is $800/year, or $800/12 per month. That is $666 x 10-1. Coincidence?
666 may indeed be the number of the beast, as introduced to the heretical "Bible" by 5th century christian scholars based on some really bad dreams Paul had. (Apparently, the "good news" needed SOME balancing in the third act, as fear of the end of the world WAS one of the defining selling points of early Christianity)
However, $66.60 is NOT the number of the beast, but rather, a poor rounding of the truly terrifying irrational price of $66.6666666...(etc.)
The $0.07 difference is NOT as theologically significant as the x0.1 multiplier you gloss over. To prove my point, Google the prices $66.60, $66.67, and $666 and see which result feels the most evil to you.
