The Rich Can Pay for Katrina. I sent, by feedback form today at the website of Harry Reid, Democratic leader in the U.S. Senate, the following brief message.

I DON'T understand why you and other Democrats have not proposed a one-year income-tax surcharge ON THE RICH ONLY (that is, people with income over, say, $150,000 per year) to pay for Katrina relief and rebuilding. This would solve the worry about budget-busting and force Republicans either to stop taking us deeper and deeper into debt or show the world that they care more about the rich than about the victims of hurricane Katrina. Either way, Democrats win big. Please introduce legislation to impose such a surcharge IMMEDIATELY!

I had earlier sent a similar message to Ted Kennedy, but he hasn't done anything either. If you agree that this is the way to fund relief efforts for hurricane Katrina's victims, you too should write to relevant public officials to urge they enact a surcharge on the rich to rescue the desolate.
