Can we please go back to the progressive economics that began under FDR and created the 50 year long economic expansion, not to mention the middle class as we know it?
It seems to me that a bail out bill that puts back in a truly progressive tax income tax code (bye bye loop holes for Humvees & hello captial gains tax), put in a big estate tax increase (sorry Paris Hilton, get a job), and raises corporate taxes by 15% could pass.
Let the greedy bastards who have been living large for the past ten years show some patriotism for a change.
