Privatizing SS is a big income bonus for the financial industry and the wealthy only pay on the first $100,000 (or so) of income. Hell, they hit that limit in January. <br /><br />Remove the cap and listen to them scream!Jerry Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870618647449723147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290163255778893789.post-67539087506974894082011-02-21T18:54:05.015-05:002011-02-21T18:54:05.015-05:00I second your promotion of A Distant Mirror.

Without doubt, a daunting number crunching, tender tendon-numbing job. Off the top of my head, I thought corporate tax revenues were 40% of the total pie in the 1950s compared with 11% today, but I could be wrong on this. Two years ago, I compared income inequality ratios, 1929 – 2009. The smallest ratios occurred in the post war years through the early 1980s. The ratios peaked in 1929 and again in 2007. No surprise, it seems trickle down always accompanies aging.<br /><br />BTW, this may interest you, <a href="http://swashzone.blogspot.com/2010/07/book-of-jobs-revised-global-edition.html" rel="nofollow">The Book of Jobs</a>, about our chronic unemployment problem.(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290163255778893789.post-49108841622170362372011-02-20T21:54:42.646-05:002011-02-20T21:54:42.646-05:00Ponder the meaning of these lines at a time when c...<i>Ponder the meaning of these lines at a time when corporate profits are at record highs, and unemployment levels are at record highs!</i><br /><br />Here's some bonus pondering that I did back in 2007.<br /><br /><a href="http://illusionofprosperity.blogspot.com/2007/12/corporate-profits.html" rel="nofollow">Corporate Profits</a>Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.com
