is built entirely upon gamesmanship (read: weighted toward "financial services"), how to fix? I've never believed that capitalism scales well. The values derived from a capitalist system do not include (nor tolerate, perhaps) any notion of "the common good." Since tax policy to a large extent is designed to fund "the common good" a capitalist system will always see such taxation as a hinderance to "our true capitalist nature."

Perhaps its my age and general disillusionment. I don't think (as I did in my youth) that I'll live long enough to see the bullets fly, but I'm fairly confident my kids will. My attitude could change, of course. There could be a Sanders/Warren or Warren/Sanders ticket in 2016. ;0)
