Re: "If you gave a shit about the next generation you'd advocate the total privatization of the Social Security fraud..." >>> I DO advocate SS privatization, and have ever since 1969 when Bill Buckley first proposed it. I have long known that it is a dangerous Ponzi scheme because of the way it ignores normal, expected demographic flucuations, and a poor 'investment' because of it's low returns. I followed the successful Chilean experiment with privatization with great interest. How long have YOU been supporting privatization? Re: "and elimination of taxes on all capital formation. You are a duplicitous bastard.." >>> I support reduction in all tax rates, elimination of nearly every special interest loophole in the tax code (keeping only: charitable contribution deduction, home interest ded., reasonable R & D deductions for business development), and elimination of the double taxation on dividends. But before I'd support elimination of 'ALL taxes on capital formation' I'd want to eliminate the EVEN MORE regressive taxes such as FICA. >>> As far as 'duplicitous bastard', I'm a straight-shooter, so stuff it you Stalinist moron....
