>Clintons 1996 tax cut would likely cover that too...WTG Clint! Clinton cut taxes in some places and raised them in others -- the net effect was a budget surplus. Bush cut taxes, and then cut more taxes... ummm... what's happened? -Z

Jim, very true. But the govt wants to continue its support with the misallocation of money into the real estate industry while it makes up this difference by taxing the productive industries, which is a very short-thinking approach. You made a post about the size of the misallocation. How large is it again? Was it $100B or so? Regards, Amy J

RE:"That's 49 billion dollars a year." Clintons 1996 tax cut would likely cover that too...WTG Clint! Aren't you a real estate broker? Since you feel so strongly about this issue, why don't you take all the commissions you make on the sales where the owners are taking advantage of the "Clinton" tax cut and send them into the SS fund. It might assuage your guilt and simultaneously, keep you from posting this complaint ad nauseaum. ;~)
