Can't help but wonder when "the appropriate time" actually is. Better be sooner rather than later. I learned that one in kindergarten, the longer you take to explain anything, the guiltier you look.

You ae one of those liberal big shots that think taxes are good and love to pay them. Unfortunately when we look we see that you guys usually keep a lot of money in off shore accounts and never give back a tax refund and use every which way to get one. If we could lower real estate taxes we would hve more people being able to keep their homes. As usuall the line between rich and poor is blurred by left do gooders. You never nail down what determines rich and poor. If a family has a little more money left in their budget as a result of hard work you want to take it away from them and distrubute the wealth. As long as it is not your wealth. If you are so concerned about the inequities of a sales tax then why don't I ever hear anything about graduated income tax from you folks. Why don't you push for a federal flat tax?Oh no,not you guys. Extend tax breaks instituted by President Bush, no that's not in your agaenda because it limits the amount of money that people like you and who you support,would not be able to control the money and dangel it out like a fish in front of a trained seal.
