But here's a hint: The income to the US Treasury is made up of much more than individual income taxes. Bush's tax cuts weren't just income tax cuts. Capital gains, which dominate the income of many of the richest people in the country, are not treated as ordinary income. http://mobile.salon....pholes/index.html Cheers, Scott.

Until you do something like sell your house...or actually buy some stock for your retirement. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
