Obl, shoot, I was a GS 12 when I left Civil Service in 1976. No demotions, dude. <G>

You can't nationalize brokerage firms. My main thesis is that we socialize "Important" things. Brokers don't rate.

We socialize the consequences because if somebody goes on disabiity, it is more expensive than fixing him.

You don't make those with bad habits pay more the same way you don't make those who are not veterans pay more in income taxes and those who have gas guzzling cars pay more in road taxes. We're in this thing together for the important stuff and there will always be scamsters who take advantage. We can ostracize them in other ways.
