TOTJ Steve said...: All right, I'll bite. I'm not a conservative, but I'm not a far left liberal, either; I'm certainly no economist. But the next time these two draft an op-ed, they may want to think it through. Their proposal does nothing to address income inequality, which they suggest (I think correctly) poses a problem for our democracy. It simply penalizes high earners. They are still high earners, and the proposal does nothing to bring up the lower end -- the median number. Somehow, I don't see this proposal as much of an incentive for the 1 percent to see to a rise in the median number.; Tue Dec 20, 12:03:00 PM 2011
