I thought he could have mentioned at some point during the tax debate that the tax rates Kennedy and Reagan cut were much higher than anything being debated now. He made the case that the wealthy should pay more, but he didn't point out directly that more tax cuts for the wealthy won't help grow the economy. That's not a hard case to make.<br /><br /><br />Russ deForesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090142778708039194noreply@blogger.com
