#10 Clearly, not everything is useful. The people in dire need of hearts, kidneys, livers, lungs, cornea's, etc will be happy to get them. As for brains, a little packaging and spices, I'm sure we can sell them to the French. |

#7 I propose a tax on wealthy Democrats who are politically active, so it applies to all those "actors" who dabble. First, they must pay all money, holdings, investments, etc in taxes. Then they we shall tax them by using them for spare parts. You know, recycling them. If we all vote for that, it's democracy and what the voters want. |

#6 Actually, when you increase taxes on the highest brackets you tend to hammer small businessmen and inheritors. Most really rich people pay very little in the way of taxes; look at what Arianna Huffington doesn't pay, for instance. Do you really think that John Kerry plans to tax himself? |

#3 Deacon Blues----You are not stupid. You are just plagued with a logical mind and common sense. Learn to live with the disease. Kerry is talking redistribution of wealth through taxation. Old game. I am sure that his wealth is insulated from the taxation game. Old socialist trick, you betcha.... |

#2 It seems to me that by taxing the people who have a lot of money to invest harder than anyone else the people will have less to invest and hence, less money to expand businesses and therefore, fewrer jobs will be created. Am I just stupid or is Mr. Kerry ( I call him Mr. Kerry because he is absent from the Senate about 70% of the time) some kind of wizzard? |
