Give Back the Tax Cut

My colleague Dan Markovits has an elegant proposal that combines good works with an important political statement: He urges people to give back the amount they benefited under the Bush tax cuts to the victims of Hurricane Katrina If the politicians won't do it, we should do it ourselves. This act, he argues, is an expression of solidarity and shared sacrifice, something which the Administration has never asked of Americans but which is all the more necessary in these troubled times.
