A nice trip down hubski memory lane. If there's anything I'm supportive of the GOP candidates for president on, it's that most of them would like to eliminate the payroll tax. I'm not smart enough to know what a good marginal rate structure is, but I'm damn sure that the payroll tax is pernicious. I'm continually amazed that there isn't bipartisan support for abolishing it. I suppose that's probably because no one can agree on how to replace the revenue, which would be imperative, considering the numbers involved.
