It’s something I’ve thought of bringing up before… but just never got around to writing about it.

Given our economic predicament and financial crisis, it seems to me that doing one of the following:
(1) instituting a very progressive tax system, without brackets but a continuous curve, with the highest percentage rates quite high; or
(2) outlawing usury;
will be necessary for the US to function if we want to maintain some sort of “middle class” (as it is called, though I don’t like the term.)
