We don't have a flat tax, but policy makers address the idea of a flax tax (either to say they're against it, or to say that their plan makes the tax system flatter) when they make a proposal.

If peak oil just got that far--so that anyone who talked about energy policy had to take a position on peak oil and talk about their plan in the context of peak oil--we'd be way ahead of where we are now.

Excellent point pbrewer. Of course both Perot and Forbes had lots of cash. Who's going to bankroll Roscoe's campaign? I hear T. Boone Pickens is rich. Any other wealthy peak oilers out there?

For the record, Pickens is worth $1.5 billion.

Hell, let's just draft Pickens. I mean, we need rich people (Perot, Forbes), so why not?

(I don't mean it. Bartlett is much more my type, even if he's a Republican.)

just to complete the circle...for some reason, I liken Pickens to Perot's Adm Stockdale.
