Musings from some guy who know stuff...and thinks he knows other stuff, and has opinions on just about everything, and is more than happy to tell you what he thinks and why...when he has time and the inclination to sit down and write in this thing.

On the Subject of Taxes
I still hold that the easiest and best way to make taxes more progressive and simple is to eliminate all deductions and to make the bottom tax bracket 0% up to somewhere in the range of $20-30k. On the state level the dollar value when taxes begin to kick in may be higher or lower. I also think that social security and medicare should be done the same way.

Hell, you practically sound like Steve Forbes.....
Yea, except his whole flat tax thing is about as stupid an idea as is out there.
The simplicity of it is a big part of the appeal (like what you outlined). No deductions, and no groups pitted against each other.
