When it comes to graduate level research scientists and physicians, uncle sam already isn't competitive. You'd simply make a bad situation worse and then wonder why it is top officials in the NIH, or ObamaKKKare make such ignorant decisions!
First, tackle the road repair crews who just stand around holding flags ~ now those guys are definitely not doing anything for their pay!
Or, maybe you think your letter carrier makes too much ~ go screach at him about it someday.
“Here’s your first problem ~ the top ticket people you want to tax more are mostly holders of advanced degrees who actually can walk across the street to get another job.”
While I proposed salary cuts, not taxes, your point is the same.
I was thinking of starting with Congress and the Mis-Administration - lead by example.
Fact of Life - If Congress with or without Obozo don’t deal with the spending problem, the financial markets (where they will have to go with their tin cups) will eventually solve their problem for them. Then there won’t be any jobs across the street for the scientists or physicians period. Better they walk to something now, than nothing later. The Big Spenders in DC are the ones that made the mess; they hired good people whom they can’t afford. With all the other wasteful spending they do, not my problem to help perpetuate failed liberal programs.
