No telling what may come about.

The one that scares me is the transaction tax.

Years ago conservative Republicans were talking about replacing the income tax by VAT, and the left naturally were against it. Now the left is open to VAT but of course the left will keep the income tax to divide the working people into the “rich” and the “middle class”.

The Obozo supporters are incapable of connecting the dots that they have to pay their masters through higher taxes built into their daily purchases...they will continue to be told and believe it is greedy corporations.

The one that scares me is the transaction tax.

That one is nearly a Done Deal IMHO.

Chat with the average Joe in the street who did not care much for Wall Street before (and is now triply torqued-off about the bailout) and he has 100% bought into the Leftist rhetoric about "making them pay it back".

I also think FICA withholding will get extended to very high levels of income. Perhaps to every last dime. There is simply no political will to address Social Security in any other way.
