re: #805 Kosh’s Shadow

Under 0bama it will be the top 25% of the taxpayers pay all the taxes, and everyone else gets money back.
The problem is, as England found out years ago, the people who make money go somewhere else or hide their income. (They had something likd a 90% tax bracket back in the 1970’s, IIRC)
The population of the Bahamas and other tax havens will increase by 10000% and the US will have to print money to make all the payments.

That’s why the Stones left the UK for America. But such a migration won’t happen now, because travel will be restricted - reducing the carbon footprint, or some such nonsense will be used to justify it.
