What I REALLY Think About Barack Obama

I kinda of think one of two things about Barack Obama. Either he is the coolest customer the USA has ever seen in a President-Elect, OR he isn't thinking about a second term. Personally, I'm hoping for the latter.

Now, don't start yelling at me or anything, but just take a second and think about how much he could actually acomplish if he did what he thought needed to be done, instead of caring about The Numbers, or what uninformed undecideds might be thinking in less than four years. The irony here is that if he thinks and acts like that, most likely his numbers will skyrocket, thus making a second term a very real possibilty. 

You know what else would be a good idea? Fixing our tax system. Reagan broke it, let's fix it. This will never happen, but if you look at the economic history of the United States since the institution of the Federal Income Tax, basically 1913-now, everytime we've had a booming growing economy the top tax rate was, how do I put this... a bit higher than it is today. In fact, even the lowest of the "high tax rates" spurred the economy on to growth. You can read more over at Larry Beinhart's blog, which I found FASCINATING. Please read it. You wouldn't think that the country would do well with a top tax rate of 88-94%, would you? You'd be quite wrong.
