Seems our greatest problem is that when times get good we forget how they got that way. Revert to liberal approaches, kill the momentum, throw lots of folks out of work. A solid underpinning of economics would surely help here. If we for once generally accept that what is good for the economy is good for the most of us perhaps this can be remedied. High taxes are not good for any society. Lo taxes bring increased government revenues - even after the Reagan tax cuts.

Hi Mike great Idea, Fica tax is on the books to keep on escalating up.It would in ways give an indexed deduction to counter bracket creep. I like it. I think so far Amat is too strong to short but I'm watching it. I still think this runup is fishy or else we've got a big volume confirmation rally coming up and i's to da moon baby. Dangerous market either way can happen. Bob

I wonder whether conservatives would welcome that outcome. Socialism in a world of plenty with political freedom. << Unfortunately, some people only measure what they have against others. Some people think what they have is cheapened if others have it too. Katherine
