Ah, so it's the dictionary warfare strategy. Not my strategy. That's my first and usually only source. It just happened to agree with me. if getting back to a more progressive tax structure is what you have in mind, it is certainly reform For many decades efforts at increasing progressivity have been called "reform." It always made me itch. But yours seemed to be the prevailing perspective. I haven't seen it used that way much lately. I don't know if it's because the prevailing perspective has changed of if it's just that no one is making a serious effort to add progressivity. Of course you probably assume I support the flat tax. <g> As for employees, given the propensity to move ever increasing amounts of the premiums to them and from their take home pay, they would be delighted as well. That's what I was referring to by rejiggering--adjusting their compensation from health care benefit to the pay check. I'm not following your point. Are you saying that that's a win for employees?
