In my humble opinion.

When it comes to tax policy, during the Eisenhower years the highest tax bracket was around 90-95 %. Sounds good to me, even if only a handful (yes, really!) of people actually were in that bracket.

Like I've said before, being in that highest bracket should result in having the government give you a medal (knight commander of the golden purse?), and for the annual no.1 tax contributor of society, we'll throw in a cast bronze statue to be erected on some square. Seriously.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
