Well, it's getting more media attention now. One of our serious newspapers has the following headline today: "US banks begging Asia for help". Yesterday Citigroup published their numbers, that showed a 10 billion deficit over the last year. That hole has to be filled, and apparently the bank is selling bonds with 7 to 11% interest...

And Rudy Giuliani presents his tax plan:

Quote:
quote:In his aggressive tax-cut program announced last week, Giuliani called for a reduction of the U.S. corporate tax from 35 to 25 percent, elimination of the estate tax and a reduction of capital gains tax from 15 to 10 percent.

He is promoting a one-page income tax form that culls tax brackets to just three -- 10, 15 and 30 percent -- which he said will save a typical, middle-income family of four with $80,000 yearly income about $3,000 annually.
Nice average income btw, respect.
