Very good post, Don

But this:

Seriously folks, let's get real. For all our "soak the rich" talk, we already are.
It's sad that certain people still haven't figured out that we can't pay our way out of everything by taxing the rich. If we're going to get anywhere, if we're going to raise any decent amount of money, then sorry, the regular guy has to pay. And by looking at your debt, I'd say you ought to start taxing yourselves... Very soon.
