Reply #76: Al, I was for you until now

you lost me 100%. That is a bad idea.

Sure we should tax those that pollute the air, but you can't just throw payroll taxes away and count on getting the money. As you know, the baby boomers have paid extra since 1983 into FICA for Social Security, to self fund their retirement. They will be cashing in those bonds gradually as they need them. The money will be needed to pay back the bonds, but it won't be enough to pay them back and replace payroll taxes.

I read yesterday that Al Gore was a dlc New Democrat. I didn't believe it then, but I do now.

I am sad that Al Gore isn't the person I thought he was.
