What a load of . . . . .
You rank high among the rudest posters not simply on this thread, Hawk, but on SI.
Bill and Mike (uw) and I are sitting around Ken's living room exchanging somewhat pointed funny lines about one another's politics and taxes, enjoying trying to find yet another one liner, and you slam through the door, stern face well to the front of the rest of you, insisting on an end to all good fellowship with the proclamation that your post is bigger than anyone else's post. Sounds about right for your posting style.
The topic of US tax policy is well off topic for this thread, though not for friendly bantering as we three were doing.
I could take your post seriously, perhaps post a Krugman and Al Hunt column back in your face. Particularly, since whoever the hell Samuelson is, Krugman has better credentials. And Hunt writes better prose. And that would fit the one up style you seem to think is the way to have conversations.
But that's as pointless and unnecessarily inflammatory as your post.
Or, I could dissect this writer's facts and proposals but anyone who thinks tax cuts are about political discipline, as he says in his final paragraph, anyone who thinks the rich pay too much and the poor too little, anyone who thinks that the present meager fare of support for social services needs to be cut further, is not only someone whose articles I see no reason to read unless they offer some unusually new information/insights (and this guy certainly doesn't) but represents points of views that need to lose the next election.
