see here i end up on your side. last post i told you what i objected to and what i found acceptable. What i dont like is the casual attitude folks on the left have to raising taxes on a class basis and without concern about its effect on growing the economy. Can you just even accept that a 5% increase in cap gains has no impact whatsoever and that 3% rate increase on end rate has little impact.

>Z, why not raise taxes even more then? How about a 75% tax rate for all income above $1 million? >After all, we gotta make up for all the revenue that Bush starved the country out of. Not to mention that it takes money to jump-start the economy. Yeah, I might be into that. >Come on, Z! Keep hiking up those taxes! This country has nothing to lose but the "rich." And screw them anyway; they got us into this mess in the first place! The country has thrived the most with the high marginal tax rates at higher tax brackets. Not a coincidence. Maybe 75% is ridiculous; who knows? There are points where taxes are too high, and there are points where they're too low. They're too low now. -Z

Come on, Z! Keep hiking up those taxes! This country has nothing to lose but the "rich." And screw them anyway; they got us into this mess in the first place! Why not? They screw us every chance they get.
