Why are they blind to the solution.

Why worry about bonuses. Give them all they want to do the job. But raise the top tax rate to 95%. No problem. That will balance the playing field. Progressive tax raise, end of bonus question. Period. Too may people worried about their private bonus plans.

1. Beats my plan

I was going to go all Shakespearian, and suggest we line them up with the lawyers.

3. The top tax rate was 90% for decades

Until Kennedy dropped it to 67%. Since then, it's continually crept down to its present 35%. Given the wars and financial crisis the wealthy have us mired in, a raise in the top rate to 75% is certainly warranted.

4. And this thought needed two threads ?

Hmmmm ....

EDIT: Oh ... I meant three .....

5. What is the problem with two threads ?

I really was not aware that there was a protocol about how many threads.

6. Has anyone read...

 Ron Cooke's (The Cultural Economist) essays on the current
stimulus plan? I think that Cooke's assessment of the current
economic situation is clearer and more accurate than anything
I've seen. Not to mention that he actually PREDICTED this
crazy thing back in 2006. He talks about real solutions and I
wish I had a direct line to President Obama because Cooke
makes so much sense that if those two could put their heads
together it would take the mystery out of finding the right
path to success.

 He discusses the connection between the oil prices of last
year and their direct connection to the recession. He talks
about restoring the manufacturing base in this country... I
have been reading everything I can get my hands on about this
crisis and the most burning issue for me has been, why didn't
anyone see this coming. Cooke also discusses the danger of
continuing to enrich the wealthy top percentile of this nation
and ignoring the middle class and that the President is
running the risk of falling into that same trap. I have the
utmost respect and admiration for President Obama and feel his
heart is in the right place and he's moving in the right
direction, but there seem to be some potholes he may not be
sidestepping on the road to our recovery...
