4. Establish a reasonable, flat income tax., secure savings accounts against taxation.

5. Establish a pay cap on professional sports participants and entertainers., not to exceed $500,000 per year.

6. Increase minimum wage to $10.00 per hour.

Alec Baldwin would never go for that flat-income tax or the pay cap.

America ain't doomed, it's just in decline - a time of examining and rethinking your place in the global neighbourhood. But I reckon you'll be around for a good while yet, as a superpower I mean, it's just there'll probably be many other countries with nearing or equal spheres of influence. Here's the question - will you go kicking and screaming into this "New World Order" (not THAT "New World Order"), or will you do it calmly and responsibly? As a non American (I'm Irish) I hope the latter!

I'm not burning the flag. I'm waving it to draw attention to the rampant greed that is soiling it. There must be an accounting.
