Hey, we should all volunteer to pay 100% of our income for one year to fix this mess, because it would be the "patriotic" thing to do (but then, it probably wouldn't fix it and would just whet the appetite of the big spenders in Congress). Oh, and while we're at it, let's impose even more usurious, confiscatory taxes on business, and restrict foreign trade to protect the low paying jobs of those who never had the ambition or learned to do anything more productive. If the Chinese can make brooms more efficiently and cheaper than we can, why should we subsidize U.S. workers to make brooms just because that is what they choose to do?
