I'm sure there are more than a few on government programs that could pour concrete and asphalt. 2 birds with one stone I guess. The 90% tax rate thing though...yeah good luck with that. Seems like the surest way to push the best thinkers and businessmen into early retirement. I've said it before and I'll say it again, when push comes to shove these boys will have no problem taking the ball and going home.
I never said we should raise the tax rate to 90%. I brought up historical facts to show that taxes today are at ridiculously low levels. We have had the Bush taxcuts for the last 10 years. They lead to a market crash. What makes you all think lower taxes more will fix anything. Esp the fact that we have a revenue issue. Its pure insanity. Trickle down economics, Reaganomics, conservative supply side economics call it what you will its all the same has done nothing buy explode our debt. The text book definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
