Say what you want about rates/effective rates.
The debate is MOOT if they aren't effectIVE of achieving their goal of a vibrant balanced society with a Large Middle Class. The Middle Class being what Made/Makes America.. America.
And there is NO debate Wealth Disparity is Growing.
Many Partisan Hacks on the Right feel people/middle/poor are getting Lazier. But there are easily identifiable variables that say otherwise.
Clearly the COLLAPSE of Top Marginal Rates among others (like 'Free Trade'), etc etc.
And of course the HALVING of Capital Gains/Dividends and busting of the Estate Tax by Bush was the coup de grâce.
Nonetheless the Kudlow/Hannity talking heads want MORE shifting of the Burden Down on the lower Incomes by dropping Cap Gains altogether.
However, this simply cannot go on-- not even at current/Already-won-Class-Warfare-by-the-rich-and-their-bought-congress.
