It was a big mistake to lean toward tax cuts at this time. I would have liked to see the debt payed off in a few years and one grand national project, maybe a mission to Mars or a colony on the moon. Maybe a floating island state a hundred miles in diameter. It could have been done while times are good. It would have ensured America's greatness for at least another generation or two. Now all we can count on is Junior George's smirk. What a waste! What a lot of short minded stupid idiots are out there. TP

That sounds fair, and I would also continually suggest an elimination of the capital gains tax. But we won’t be seeing anything like this within the next few centuries because no politician has the mountain oysters to see it through. What we are talking here is an effective middle-class tax increase. If we cut the top rate by thirty percent, all the folks in the middle are going to want a cut nearly as substantial because many of them enjoy the breaks you’ve listed.
