:donut: and lurkers.

I have a BIG SHOUT OUT to all of you on the SWT. I always try to catch the WSJ report with Maria Bartiromo. Her guest will be none other than the Chimperor himself next Saturday. I am sure he will be there to tout the wonderful economy. And of course-Maria will get out the knee pads. As always, she said to e-mail questions, so now is our chance. I intend to ask ...

"You continue to emphasis repeal of the inheritance tax (or death tax as you like to call it-the Paris Hilton tax as many of us outside the beltway call it) and push for additional tax cut that not only reduce the tax burden of the wealthy, but increase the tax burden on the middle class in this country. Since our economy is based 2/3rds on consumer spending...how do you expect this to help the lower and middle class or more importantly take care of the deficit and balance the budget?

Follow up question...The deficit has gotten larger, wealth has stratified further to the top 1%-which pays little if any tax burden that is proportional to that paid by the lower and middle class. How can you consider this a healthy economy for a democracy.

What question would you ask?

I suggest you get a question in early like today or tomorrow(not that I expect them to ask him-but it is worth a shot).
