I'll make it up, just like you guys do.

Funny. I could have sworn you've been provided with dozens of links on this thread to actual research papers. I know you haven't read them because you bring up things that are covered in them. This isn't some FReeper named "kevkrom" behind all of this, we're talking about dozens of solid, pro-business groups and the work of respected economists.

You're just talking.

Research? C'mon, don't insult people. They are making projections. They are guessing. Just like the global warming people do. "We do research, we use computer models, we know."

I'd be all for this under the right circumstance, but they aren't there for me.

And you know I'm right that this isn't going to happen. So,,it's just a debating society. have fun with it, but don't take yourself seriously. Too many people would be fanatically opposed to it if they ever thought it would see the light of day. A serious proposal that had a real chance of passage would be met with a cacophony from every direction, not the least of which are the people themselves, who have been brain washed into class warfare. They love to "soak the rich" even if it's all in their minds. Most of the people on this forum are in favor of a graduated tax even if they don't comment on these threads.
