appreciate bring this up because the point that you make is this study that i was talking with thomas frank about earlier which was some of the congressional research service which just does research for members of congress not for the public and they were asked this question presumably by republican legislators when you cut taxes on rich people does it create more economic activity and it was an unambiguous no cutting taxes on rich people does no good whatsoever. and so the republicans said please take the study off the books take it back we don't we don't want to see the study it's nuts so this why say we need to roll back the reagan tax cuts hankin solver spring maryland a what's up. i heard you say that you were him radio operator i was i got my ticket when i was thirteen i got my general that well i got mine around fifteen or so in philadelphia and i never got my code speed up i was only five words a minute so i was a novice and attack did you know that you can now there's no more code and i went back out looked at the tests that are on the internet and went back and got my extra yeah
