Mindmeld, nice plan, but it assumes that you hold the hard line on spending. Both Obama and Hillary want universal health care. I'm sure McCain also advocates some form of that. All three candidates also want to fight global warming (which I'm against) and fund alternative energy projects (which I support). Who else are you going to raise taxes on to pay for all of that? You've already dinged the "top 1%." Who's next, the "top 5%"? Let me revise my question: If you discount the Iraq war and defense spending, you end up with $2.4 trillion. Ask yourself how that money is being spent, and why that isn't magically turning into new schools, new hospitals, and new alternative energy research programs. Tenchusatsu
