Very well said. I sincerely wish I reason and write a tenth as well as you. Well done. The only beef, the progressive income tax is a great evil. It is the foundation st one for most of the present government excesses. It is a marxist construct that needs to be expunged from our nation.
I'd certainly be in favor of getting rid of it entirely, but if there's an income tax, I think making it entirely flat from the richest to the poorest would be a pretty hard sell.
