Cars more than two years old are subject to a $100,000 economic degradation tax. Any building that hasn't had a building permit pulled within the last five years is subject to a $1,000,000 "Toll Brothers Died For You, Motherfuckers" tax.

I maintain that my National Act Regulating Cannabis which would basically legalize, regulate, and tax pot is the way to go. (It would easily offset a first time home buyers credit etc. and give us funds to spare).
Even if it fails to solve the current crisis I'd imagine the problems would be more bearable.
If there is anything we lead the world in it is cannabis technology.

The sad thing is, you're probably right. There's that American innovation and drive! Fuck yeah, America!

I know in this case it's Lee-man but technically it you were to pronounce the German correctly (e.g. in an American's last name) "eh" is said "eh" and not "ee"

Hmmm, with NY muni money market funds yielding 5-6%, I'd say about 10% on CP might get a nibble. For now at least, the scared get 1.5% on T-bills and the greedy get the equivalent of about 10% taxable.
