    Blunderdog is onto something

    blunderdog sez:

    "That's the problem with not indexing tax rate to cost of living. It has little to do with AMT specifically."

    Which is precisely why the Federal Govt. should be lowering taxes to minimal levels to secure our country and provide for our international interactions and agreements, and leaving it to the states and municipalities to bring in the funds and provide the services.

    Plus, you get the benefit of a sample size of 50 as opposed to one when analyzing the pros and cons of various strategies for providing for the public good and solving our problems.
