Racerdan;

To answer your question of how should we stimulate the economy. IF we assume a stimilus is needed, I think the fastest bang for their buck will be to do a cut for all those grossing less than $150,000 per year, and to cut them a check immediatly. I beleive this group of taxpayers is likley to immediately spend the money, instead of tuck it into the family trust account. This will give an instant stimulus and will help those most in need.

As far as how economist feel, I'm sure you can find any opinion you want, but our Federal Reserve chairman, appointed by both democrats and republicans, says this plan won't work.

I am not eager to soak the rich, but when it comes to helping out a taxpayer, I favor the small guy. BTW our rich are by no means soaked. Almost all other wealthy nations tax the rich at far higher rates then we do. And the rate our rich now pay is a considerably smaller percentage than a few decads ago.
