Tim, I don't want to be involved in the discussion between Dem. and Rep. because I know to little about them, but cutting taxes in an environment which fears for overheating and inflation is about the most stupid thing you can do. Save the collected taxes if you don't need them now and cut them when there is a recession. Or are you one of those who believe recessions are something from the past. One of the things I remarked on my last trip was that you see much more paralised and criple people in the streets. Now, you see people in a wheelchair here also, but what surprised me most, all of them seems to be poor. which leads me to the conclusion that: A) a lot of those people wouldn't be in a wheelchair if they had more money for health treatment. B)The money they receive from the gov. doesn't seem that much. And C) people like you and obviously a lot of Americans seems to think that's O.K. because "the less a government does, the better for all of us." Bert

"I think that in the long run the less the government taxes us the better "everyone else" will do. " The perfect tax strategy: Don't tax you, don't tax me; Tax the guy behind that tree.
