Another take...I always ask liberals "how much is enough" At this point just return part of the surplus. How's that Jerome? Jerome, How do you justify the rise of the tax rate from 28% to 40% from 1986 to 2001? Maybe 28% was too low. But the justification for 40% is safeguarding SS and paying off the debt. There are other ways to safeguard SS without burdening the poor and the young with high taxes while at the same time taking the seed capital out of the hands of entrepreneus and small businesses? 28-40 Jerome, somewhere between those numbers should be a compromise, wouldnt you think, that would satisfy us both. BTW, Bush 33% is in the middle so perhaps you liberals can come in at 36% with an end to the marriage penalty, lower rates for the poor and reform(not repeal) of the death tax. Why cant liberals come in with this variation. Reason is that this surplus crap is merely a ruse to keep that money in play so at the right time we can move to another Great Society type program. Tax cuts take the money out of the hand of government. That is what this is all about. Mike
