Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Excellent posts, Frank, d, and Bruce's link...

Yeah, here were are pushing 900 posts and this is really what it comes down to: a redistributuion of wealth... Heck, I don't care as much how wealth is defined for now as long as we understand that redistruting it is not only the right thing to do but the only way that this country will survive its own self...

We can start offf with Dickey's rediculously low figures or we can look at the big wealth picture... Doesn't much matter now as long as we start...

I would think that for starters we could use the low income tax credit as the vehicle and cutting back the Bush tax cuts for the upper 5%, taxing off shore accounts by the rich and returning to a saner estate tax will go a long way toward paying for ***ending poverty*** for all people who get up and go to work...
