Agree.  That's the fatal weakness of pure capitalism.  It isn't setup for 
long-term gain.  It's all about the quarterly statement.
The elimination of the earnings test would be nice, I'd be happy with a 
reduction as income rises.  This immediate cutoff is stupid.  It prevents 
people from earning more and paying more taxes, because they loose so much 
all of a sudden.
Imagine how much those levees would have cost if they were built in 1965, 
1927, or 1839.  History keeps giving you chances to learn from it if you 
refuse to get the message.
