   Good oneThat's a great way of putting it. Though a tax cut can give us wind turbines and solar stations,  infrastructure has got to be in there. Little things, like water treatment plants.

   Proportion:We need a mix for tax cuts on the working and middle class and infrastructure projects. Bill Clinton must have had the tax mix about right. We had good economic times and he left George Bush a budget surplus. A that would have translated into over 5 billion dollars in 2008. If Bush had waited until 08 to give the tax cuts to the rich for luxury item spending he may have had more success in fixing the economic crisis.
   A good mix for taxes would be a return to the Bill Clinton tax era.  It's not a tax raise as the upper 1% is calling it. It is just returning to a fair economy growing tax schedule. Trickle down has failed we don't need to make anymore excuses and go back to a tax mix that will work.
   
   
   
   The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.
