But my point remains, you're not going to get massive amounts of money by raising the top rate from 35% to 39%.

You keep claiming things that just aren't so.

That's what makes the ping-pong so pointless, it doesn't even aim to get down to real facts, just flogging nonexistent straw men dozens of times a day. BFD.

Raising the tax rates on the top 10% back to where they were when Reagan was prez, would probably net us enough to jack up our rating to AAA. Now wouldn't that be lovely? Why would a winger or a bagger be against that?
