To The White House: Rather than the "Buffett Tax Plan", call it "Reagan Tax Plan" -- as a caller on Thom's show suggested.
Submitted by Caleb on 3. February 2012 - 17:08A caller phoned Thom today and said Obama and the Democrats should "Luntzify" the "Buffett Tax Plan" and call it the "Reagan Tax Plan."
The caller noted that most Republicans are not interested in what a Democrat like Buffett would suggest, and advocated instead calling it the "Reagan Tax Plan." Reagan advocated virtually the same approach, the caller and Thom both noted. Thom said that investment should be taxed at least at the same rate of work, about 28%. And he played the Reagan quote about wanting the rich to pay at least the same in taxes as a bus driver.

Economics and Politics - a two sided coin
Submitted by southernliberalman on 3. February 2012 - 13:22Being a liberal white male living in the heart of the deep south, I’ve had the opportunity to debate a LOT of people about a variety of subjects. The topic of race and tolerance comes up a lot. Social issues are always a hoot! Religion is a BIG one that usually comes into the discussion regardless of the real topic. And then there’s economics. I don’t claim to be an economist, nor do I claim to be an expert on much of anything, but I DO read a lot and I do think I understand the basics about what an economy is and how it works.
