"Renaissance Thinking About the Issues of Our Day"
To The White House: Rather than the "Buffett Tax Plan", call it "Reagan Tax Plan" -- as a caller on Thom's show suggested.
A 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.
White House -- Are you listening? (Thom played the Reagan quote again about 12 minutes before the end of his Friday show today, on 2-3-12.)
Great, great idea!
Yours,
Caleb

You can all call your congressmen and the White House if you want, but in your bulging eyed envy to "get" the small 1% of "the rich" , you are going to diminish the returns on ALL retirement funds drawn by our retirees on their 401k's.
I may be wrong, but if Democrats campaigned on slashing the retirement funds for ALL people, I don't think we'd see a Democrat in the Congress, the Senate, or the White House until Buck Rogers takes off in the 25th Century.
