I will the first to admit that I don't have a fully formed opinion on this legislative action. Because we are generally considered a high income family under any scenario, we will continue to fund the welfare state.

However, the reason I'm addressing you is my dismay at your use of the English language. I always enjoy your informed and well thought out posts, but an error of this magnitude, especially since you're taking such a strident and forthright position, needs to be addressed.

CAPITOL LETTERS

The words capital and capitol, though they are homophones, have no root basis relationship at all. Capitol is named after Capitoline hill, which is in turn Latin for Capitolium, temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus.

Capital, on the other hand, is also Latin, but derived from capitālis of the head (capit-, stem of caput head, + -ālis -al1).

I typically don't play the role of grammar police, but when a poster is front and center attempting to dominate a thread and/or persuade undecideds, it's critical to avoid making obvious contextual and/or word choice errors. (No one has a problem with spelling errors or even substitution since one tends to type fast and there aren't any edit functions available.)

Yes, see my post #22 that had the correction.
