Reply #78: I agree. If they really wanted to turn this economy around

they'd cut payroll taxes. They like to say that the SS trust fund is just a myth, and point out that its spent - on things like bush's privatized defense boondoggle. Well, then why tax the working class to pay for it all? If their taxes just go into the general fund, then why not cut their taxes instead of the richest 1%?

And speaking of bailouts, if you're going to do anything for corporations, any stimulus should only be for domestic investment. Giving poor people more money to spend at Walmart or at the gas pump isn't going to trickle down on us any time soon.

And hell yeah, a 90% tax rate on these crooked CEOs - well, it's not jail, but it's a start.
