This administration and this thread tend to cherry pick views from experts Maybe, maybe not, either way its pretty irrelevant in the context of a discussion of Reich's ideas. You don't have to cherry pick to find that views are very negative on increasing the tax rate to 50% and than adding a wealth tax on top of that, or Reich's more general philosophy of trying to impose equal pain. As an example, Alan Greenspan is a life long conservative Republican economist yet he agrees more with Bill Clinton's handling of the economy than with George W. Bush. On the spending side maybe (of course Clinton had a better situation for spending control than Bush did, but even considering Bush's situation he has done a poor job there). But on the tax side Greenspan tends to not be a big fan of tax increases. In any case I'm not sure how this is relevant to Iraq, Health Care, or Reich's tax proposals. If you want to change the topic fine, but you should make it clear that your doing so. We will find out in the next national election what the American people thinks. We'll find out if they prefer candidate X to candidate Y, or vice-versa not much more than that.
