#1 ...The only problem here is that if Edwards got in, the definition of 'wealthy' would be anyone making more than $10K/year....

#2 why don't we tax the shit out of NC homes over 20,000 sq ft? No comment, Mr. "Two Americas"?

#3 Would any American friends care to print this out and pass it onto Mr Edwards?

CBO's Capital Gains Error Now Stands At $133 Billion, 68 Percent

To summarize, the CBO said in 2003 that President Bush's capital gains tax cut would 'cost' the treasury $5.4B between 2003-2006.

Ready for this?

In fact receipts were up $133B over the same period.

The Laffer curve works. Tax cuts work.

#4 Tony, it ain't about bringing money into the treasury. It's about punishing the successful.

Surtax on houses over 3000 s.f.

#9 All democrats should be taxed 85% of their income and three organs of our choice. After all, organ donation is for the /common good/. It's not like they need all their organs anyway.
