Re: Classification Table

[Bruce McFarling <brmcf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like a basic income tax rate, set on middle (median)
incomes, with 150% of the basic rate kicking in at twice
middle income and 200% at five times middle income.  But
then again, I'd like to see any pay by corporations in
excess of ten times middle income counted as profits
distributions instead of given of tax breaks, so I guess
that makes me a radical on the current American political
spectrum.

	Where's the radical populist and radical Marxist
categories on the survey, John?
