< Why they can't just raise the tax rates for those at the top earning a million plus. > That is precisely the opposite of what Bush has done.

Raising their taxes to the 50% bracket might only pay for a month of fighting in Iraq but it's a start. rubbish... it is a start to what ? more spending...? more idiotic wars...? unless you have a scheme, a plan, [that makes sense]... like Ross Perot said... take ALL the wealth of the richest and then WHAT ? if there is no plan, money by itself, will not last. you sound like a spoiled heir of dying industrialist who have no idea what to do with the wealth he is about to inherit. an image of this country right now. wealth by itself will give you the means to satisfy your desires... but wealth will not inspire you to have desires... translation: money will allow you to buy things, buy money by itself, does not inspire you to be productive. unless you have a plan where money is a limited resource, which has to be allocated properly, not idiotically (so it will last and allow the plan to work) so once you have raised the tax rate on the 'rich' to 50% and still no plan.... what then? you will need to raise the tax rate to 80% 90%? lame... Capital will flee to wherever they let it grow before that happens
