Role reversal

Many in the federal government are demanding banks and taxpayers be forgiving to those who either can’t pay or don’t want to pay their mortgage payments. I’d like to see these people be as forgiving in people’s times of need.

If Uncle Sam really wants to help, he could promptly and permanently cut marginal income tax rates and capital gains taxes. This, however, does not seem likely since he tends to be less willing to make the sacrifices he insists others make.
