3. Not unless we can vote ourselves a SPINE through reconciliation. |

IOW, ain't gonna happen. Even though we have the power, we don't have the backbone to do what's needed.

4. But consider the kinds of things we could do |

Raise the tax rate on income over $200K to 99% and then offer a reduction to 50% as part of a piece of legislation we want passed.

5. Yes, but only for a few years. That's why Bush's tax cuts are expiring |
