"Clinton passed the largest tax increase in history and then, we had a budget surplus. Remember?" Yes a different time--you need to slurp up unwanted liquidity. Folks were making so much money in the boom that they didnt care. So those high taxes served a purpose i guess but but they became structural and 41% high brackets and double taxation of anything sucks for a struggling economy. Next time when taxes are used to slop up excess liquidity they should be temp surcharges and not part of the code. mike
