Which argument... Elmat's ? that is what is happening... Wildstar's .. works if 2.5 billion Olivers had not begun asking for more... where is the money and new wealth being generated.. maybe an anomaly ? as to the US forces, etc... America should have thought of that .... things have changed... Now they have to think about it... Then again durable goods up... so the US is fixed maybe ... tax base rejuvenated maybe.. or is that good news for China <ng> Looks like Ben is done and the adults in congress must be sniffed out and encouraged to act...

*Wage earners normally pay for the taxes.* Exactly.. In the US, the burden has been on the backs of wage earners since the tax code has been hijacked by the wealthy. Folks who get their cash in other than wages subject to "withholding" either get preferential treatment: capital gains, inheritance, etc.; or simply avoid paying taxes at all. The current fiscal problems of the US trace directly to the policies to further reduce taxation on favored classes and the resultant downturn and job losses as those monies, not needing to be spent by the super rich, are simply removed from the domestic economy. This has resulted in reduced economic activity with resultant loss of "wage earners" employment and thus fewer folks to carry the load as the pigs scream for even more tax cuts.... Note the impact of the Bush tax cuts.
