: Day of reckoning on its way with stratospheric tax hikes

There are some truly mean-spirited people on the Internet. Take this from James in Monument, Colo.:

"Let me offer my personal thanks to the worst generation (the baby boomers). You have [mismanaged] this country royally and we, your children, would like to tell you what to do with yourselves. Thanks for all the debt and irresponsibility. I hope your nursing homes treat you like crap."

What did Mom and Dad do to this guy? Spend his inheritance?

Well, yes, in a manner of speaking.

James in Monument was responding to Money senior editor Pat Regnier, writing on the "Generation Risk" blog (which can be found at www.cnnmoney.com). Regnier was offered this interesting bit of advice by Robert Gordon of Twenty-First Securities in New York City: "Draw a chart of tax rates -- if that was a stock, you'd buy it now."

In other words, taxes are headed for the stratosphere.
