I now believe that life's a balance and the economy is no exception.

I don't believe that either the government or the corporations are the root of all problems. I think that both have their roles to play. Businesses generate the wealth and government regulation keeps them honest. Because business is motivated by profit maximization, there are some areas they can't effectively manage (such as health care) that should be run by the government. The wealthy deserve to be rewarded for their efforts but they should also pay their fair share of taxes to maintain the society that helped enable them to prosper. A strong middle class is also essential to a prosperous society, indeed what distinguishes a modern economy from a third world economy.

In sum, I believe in regulated capitalism.

So a flat tax for all?
If I die and god is real, im so screwed.
