As a conservative, I have to say that your podcast was one of the more intelligent pieces of liberal talk I have heard. If more people were able to think and articulate their positions as you did we could have real dialog in this country and move forward. Unfortunately, as you said, the politicians pander to an uninformed and easily manipulated electorate to stay in power. In the meantime the right listens to comedians and the left elects them to office. :-) It’s nice to hear an intelligent liberal.

You make some sound points and I can' agree with you more on electing smart officials to run our government. Also, paying capital gains on unrealized gains can be extremely dangerous especially since they want it now, but when you document losses you are limited to what you can enter. Paying taxes is painful and is a necessary evil of civilized society. Unfortunatley, the electorate has forgotten that they cannot get blood from a stone. There needs to be a cap on what we'll tax people on and look for better ways of managing the taxes. One idea, get rid of tax money for stupid research. If I hear about another government grant to study the implications of breast implants on social mores i'm gonna go mental. Good to hear your voice.
