I haven’t had reason to run the #s for the alt minimum tax in several years, so I defer on that. Still the $250k guy may have a wife and 7 kids or something, then no problems?

In other news, Obama is dropping the ball with NASA. There’s always some reason to put off spending money on space exploration…or art, or high culture, or music, or beautiful architecture. I hope JFK’s ghost haunts someone until this gets put right.
