These are the basics. Too many people in this country don't have the vaguest notion of the most fundamental principles of economics. If they did, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now. If children were taught logic as soon as they started to go to school, maybe they'd grow up at least knowing how to analyze "information" and draw a distinction between what feels good and what actually makes sense.

We are in the midst of a credit crises and inflation crises that were both caused by low fed rates. What is the cure? A rate and foreclosure freeze as promised by the democrats!!!!!! No wait, lets be bipartisan and throw 600 bucks at people so that they can make half a mortgage payment later this year!!!!!!! I'm having visuals of someone trying to put out a forest fire by tossing dynamite at the thing.

They don't much like logic, either. And math is so inflexible. It hardly seems fair that 2+2 should <i>have to </i>be 4. Perhaps we could come up with some sort of compromise where 2+2 is sometimes 4, but sometimes it's something warm and fuzzy, like a bunny rabbit...

It is of course a waste of time because you are trying to fight liberal thought with facts. This never works. This is a great article.

Personally I have been in the lowest tax bracket for the last few years, but that is not the Governments fault and I certainly do not think my personal economics means that the persons on the other end of the spectrum should be brought down with me! However Obama appeals to this class warfare that achieves nothing. Your points about economics and taxes are excellent.
