We're Back

But still recuperating. You can expect the blog to back in full force this week though. In the mean time, here's a good article from Ted Rall on why the proposed national sales tax is a really bad idea.

I don't understand the conservative push to enact measures that would actually do the opposite of what they claim and inflict massive damage on the economy. I mean, I do understand the desire of the rich to get richer, but I don't understand why the want to gamble with the nation's economy and possibly bring us down the the level of a second-rate power. Surely they don't think that such an event would continue to benefit them! The rich only stay rich until people get so frustrated they haul their lazy asses out of their mansions and behead them or kill them in other, less pleasant ways.

Besides which, how come nobody wants to play it as a cooperative game and make everyone richer? Surely the richest Americans know they only stand to get richer the more money the average person has.
