Dear Harland;
With the Democrats in power anything goes - but the AMT won't go - although some inflationary adjustment will have to be made for political purposes. Look for increased protectionist tariffs for the benefit of selected trade unions. Increased income taxes for anything NOT covered by the AMT for really wealthy " fat cat" millionaires. More sucking up to Global Warming as the "hot" issue - today. Increased federal control of government school education. More stupidity on healthcare reform. More and denser stupidity on protecting Americans from Osama bin Laden personally invading Amercia. More billion dollar Katrina fixes. Some form of a Iraq withdrawl date and/or funding cut.
And so on ad naseum...
