I won't bother trying to clarify my other point, that a sharp progressive tax curve actually contributes to the gap between rich and poor more than it closes it. You can't bother... I'll just say that the solutions you advocate have been tried many times before. Probably the reason the wealth gap has skyrocketed after reagan... OK, so let's rescind the Bush tax cuts. Want to also rescind most of the spending increases under Bush? Yes and yes...2012 bush tax cut comes to an end (for the wealthy anyway), two wars on the credit card are being wound down, part D cost being covered under PPACA... Anymore questions? Al

Clooney: I Had My First Orgasm at Age 6 AND MORE HIGHLIGHTS FROM 'ROLLING STONE' INTERVIEW By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Nov 11, 2011 10:21 AM CST (NEWSER) – George Clooney covers the latest issue of Rolling Stone, out today. Highlights from the sometimes steamy, surprisingly revealing interview: His first orgasm: He lost his virginity at the “young, very young, too young” age of 16, but had his first orgasm at age six or seven. “I believe it was while climbing a rope,” he says. “I mean, nothing came out, but all the other elements were there. I remember getting to the top of the rope, hanging off the rope, and going, ‘Oh, my God, this feels great!’” His sense of humor: You can always get a laugh out of him by saying the words "Johnson" or "fart." "Always," he says. "'He showed her his Johnson and she left.' You can actually say that in mixed company or on late-night TV." As for farting, "Even the idea of a fart makes me laugh. … Farts. To me, there's nothing funnier." His lifestyle: He doesn't live the way we think he lives, "with hot and cold drinks running everywhere and a party all the time." People "think of my life in terms of certain excesses that don't really exist. Things are actually fairly simple.” His style: "I'm the least metrosexual cat you've ever met." Details in defense of said statement: He's never had a manicure or pedicure, "and I've cut my own hair longer than other people have cut my hair." How long does it take him to get ready for the Oscars? Fifteen minutes. Tops.
