Ted, Yeah, like giving tax cuts during a recession. Funny how you talk just like a Republican........you use high fluting words when its $$$ that's really doing the talking.

At least it's my $$$ that's doing the talking, instead of someone else's $$$. It's pretty easy to support higher taxes when either you aren't the one being taxed, or you are so filthy rich that the taxes aren't going to crimp your lifestyle or prosperity.


I don't fit either category so what's your point?

Maybe one of these days, we'll have a tax system that doesn't punish the upwardly mobile.

You have it wrong.........its a tax for those who are upwardly mobile to show their gratitude for the largesse of this great country. You should be more thankful that you are allowed to participate!

"Maybe one of these days, we'll have a tax system that doesn't punish the upwardly mobile."

That moves onto pretty theoretical ground. Look at any developed country, all have a tax and social system that discourages the upwardly mobile a lot more than the US. There may be some undeveloped or developing country that has a system that is more upwardly mobile friendly than the US, but I am not aware of it.
