Obama has had two years to fix it, he did everything to ignore it and pass whatever pet projects and hyper spending he wanted. He still talks about spending every penny he can get his fucking hanRAB on even after everything that has happened.

Does it bother you that I've forgotten more about finance, economics, and tax than you'll ever begin to know?

If this is implying I think our current tax code is the right way to do things then you are wrong. I don't believe in overincentivization of the code and I don't believe in Congress' love of layering obscure taxation as a knee-jerk way of picking up revenue to punish a handful of isolated taxpayers with extraordinary circumstances (See: Alternative Minimum Tax - Google it on Wikipedia and read the history; it will appall you).

At least I'm sure you can appreciate that AMT is called the "blue state tax" because it affects blue state residents of the middle class more and more due to the large volume of state and local taxes they pay despite it being a convention originally cooked up by blue state representatives.

All that said, our code does a lot of things right and does an incredible job of avoiding abusive tax arrangements that still run rampant in other industrialized countries that we hear very little about due to our general isolation from the rest of the world.

That overbearing nurture tendency is becoming more intrinsic to all level of schooling. Yet this still has nothing to do with the state of our economy.

Simple economics: If everyones costs go up, none of them will need to trim their margins to stay competitive

you usually make at least generally logical arguments so you should recognize that this is a fairly weak response

the guy knows about taxes based on real world knowledge
your opinions on taxation is based on economic philosophies/theories with no real world applications (unless you can name a country where your preferred economic model is in place)

sometimes you gotta admit when you're short on information
