I'll let Greenhat strangle you. It would take a while to respond to all of the incorrect statements you've made, and he has more patience than I do. LOL

Why are you bringing NDD into this thing? He can handle himself quite well, me thinks. Is it because we have placed socialist elements into our society that have helped to further our capitalist goals? It has. Nothing you can say or do will refute that.
We have very strong socialist elements in our system no matter how many people say we are capitalist. We've found a common ground between the two that have allowed us to grow to the amazing scale that we have.
Incorrect statements? Please elaborate. Also, please tell me how we would sustain our present budget numbers under a flat-tax system. No one else before has been able to do that, so consider it a challenge.
GH will strangle me, I know how he feels on the economy as well as other things. I just happen to have some divergent views on a few things. The thing is that he realises that we can discuss things, sometimes agree to disagree, and still hold one thing true... No matter what we think, we both agree the American Economy is the greatest economy in the world and there is no damn substitute.
Though, I can only imagine the response I'll get to my reply. It's what I believe, it's what I've seen and experienced. There is a two-class system in place, and many people can't see it. A flat tax is going to simply make the top tier much more powerful than they already are.
