And the idea that Americans, especially the rich, are over-taxed is just..........crazy.

Coming from a right winger like Stein that is quite an admission. He may just be right. Like it or not, the US government needs more tax revenue and there really is only one place left to get it. I suspect, however, the US right and its corporate and ultra wealthy allies will place every barrier they can think of in the way of higher taxes before finally coming to grips with reality. As Stein points out increased taxes could start slowly. How about a surtax on everyone in the US who takes home more than a million a year after taxes and then see if that is enough?
