Where we are going:

You've heard that Bush is thinking about a non-progressive income tax, or maybe even no income tax at all (to be replaced by a consumption tax). Then there is the possibility of a Scalia-ized Supreme Court deciding there is no right to privacy (and by extension to an abortion). Plus, there is likely to be less regulation of business and fewer protections for the citizen. How should one conceptualize this change in policies?

In a nutshell, we are headed back to the 19th century.

Last month we posted on this phenomenon, and you might find the list of accomplishments over the last 100 years - many which will be reversed or crippled - of interest.
