As VP Cheney once said, chiding the worries of Treasury Secretary Paul ONeil, “Reagan proved deficits don’t matter.” Especially when you finance tax cuts by borrowing to pay for them. While, at the same time, sending 130,000 soldiers Asia and borrowing lots more for that too.

Been some time since I saw a Monty Python 'pointed stick' reference, well played and thank you.

but I already have my pointy stick so why should I have to pay for a pointy stick for some lazy welfare queen that can't pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. that sounds a lot like socialism to me, and socialism is bad

Oddly, he has not gone after Ann Coulter yet. Kinda fits your hypothesis.

So, using conservative-think, the tax rate that brings the most into the federal coffers would be 0%.

I am seeking a happy medium; take enough off so that it doesn't overwhelm me, but leave enough so that I can pull it back out of my face.

My hair grows quickly; it generally only requires 4-6 weeks to "fix" a fucked up haircut on my noggin.

EVERY effort will continue to be made to avoid the sin of boring!

Open it up and pour out a long one, because that is a bet that cannot be beat. Also, you can go back as far as 1913 and still have that long drink.

If anything we need to raise capital gains tax, especially short term. I blame cuts in cap gain for so many bad business decisions to day. once upper management got stock options, their planning was only to the next quarter when they could sell their stock and make big bucks, forget 5 year plans, you were lucky if you could get a plan past the next quarter.
