That seems to be coming up a bit lately. I don't know that you can really make it work without really putting it to the lower and middle class.

Ow.
Ouch. And yet, pretty funny for me.

Something like tax-exempt CDs or something. I think something like that is fine as long as adjustments are made to prevent the tax burden from moving downward. Course right now, we need some big spending cuts and some tax increases just to break even.
