Forstater is NOT advocating saving in place of taxes

["John Gelles" <jjgelles@xxxxxxxx>]

	Dear Mat,

	You write: "John, I don't understand who you think is
	advocating high taxes. Is that what you are saying we
	are doing?"

	Yes Mat, -- not very high, as in the depression and
	post war years when marginal income tax rates
	exceeded 70 % -- in some places 90%.  But high
	taxes in the minds of our political opponents.

	And most of all, you refuse to comment on the heart
	of my critique -- what about saving in place of most
	of our taxes that draw the wrath of the middle and
	working class voters as well as the attention of
	lawyers and accountants for the rich who thereafter
	avoid paying a good deal of them.
