Another in a Series of Plans to Save The World
According to IRS earning $380,354 or more qualifies for membership in the top 1%. How about a 5 year goal to raise it to 5%? Sure we dream of a day when EVERYONE shares but you can't make a law out of it. Maybe one of the things we Can get behind would be raising the 1% to 5 %.
Isn't competition and a greater number of your kind (the filthy rich) the best thing? Could A Patriotic Billionaire commit to only rewarding themselves with a top income of , say, $20 million a year? The rest they could contribute colectively to an American Superfund to produce the next generation of the 5%. This would include funding free colleges and national infrastructure projects like a Smart Electric Grid and other R & D that would increase social and economic mobility and security. In return for limiting their Personal Maximum Income (PMI) the top tier will pay NO OTHER TAXES (Surely something a lot of Tea Bagging Americans could get behind). Form a committee of the contributors to choose among the many applications and watch a Bigger Better Economy take off.

Did I show you my new Tattoo?
Here it is in all it's Gory/Glory. My KnoBrain3r Logo Tattoo! Folks, I'm not a young brain. I've been roaming the planet for over 4 decades now. So FINALLY taking the leap and getting my first tattoo is a big deal. And since there was NO other picture I could really commit to , I came up with my personal custom logo. I'm kinda proud of it. The KnoBrain3r Logo, the brain in the bulb is a symbol for powering your brain with ideas while keeping an eye (one eye anyway) on the future.

A great collection of Zappa performances and more. I never get tired of music that veers between lowbrow humor and avant guard complexity
