Sheesh I quit posting for a while and the psuedo economics theory starts reappearing. And here I was feeling down because it looks like the Democrats could once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and you leave this door wide open.
Look, there's a very good CONSERVATIVE publishing company in Ottawa IL named Jameson Books. It's run by a guy named Jameson Campaign, he's been quoted frequently on the conservative side in think tanks and other forums and is an officer in the American Conservative Union. His son in law is an Army officer serving in the civil war solider killer that is post war Iraq so he might even give you a discount. He publishes a most excellent Economic book, you'll like the conservative bend but it's very informative on things like time value of money, the multiplying effect of money from a community, money supply, and government effect.
And I'd also ask that you go back into your post of 65K - 130K being in the pre-shrub 31% tax bracket? Even if it was a typo you might need to research "marginal tax brackets". Tho you almost got it right on the marriage penalty, the one that Reagan almost fixed then repealed. Then you might want to research middle class tax breaks under Bush (yes there were some Wordie, tho not as Army would have you beleive) against the steady rise in the maximum social security tax with-holding.

Best i want to do for now, I've got a major board presentation on Thursday that if successful in getting approved will create several hundred jobs for everyone from brick layers and electricians to doctors, nurses, and of course accountants.
