its sounds strange but when I read the nytimes recently, I observed that us people are going to be more and more towards socialism (taxes and so on).
Warren Buffet too, has given some uncommon remarks.

I don't know about the US, but in the UK after the war the top marginal tax rate was something like 19/6 in the pound.

We are so ahistorical these days.

I wouldn't say ahistorical because, as Warren Buffet described, in the 70ties and 80ties taxes for the most wealthy were much higher and the economy worked better. Well, I don't personally but I am quite sure that Warren Buffet knows it, he's a little older than I am.

Unbelievable that this is America, this is a report from the German TV. They can't pay the police and firefighters.
