Unless I live in the US, why would I even know what was in the Bush tax proposal, let alone use it in teaching? Unless I was teaching something relating to economics or econometrics (assuming I am teaching at all), why would I feel guilt about not teaching Lorenz curves? You're making unwarranted assumptions about what the readers of this group do. The ".edu"/edstat suggests some involvement or interest in statistical education, but it sure doesn't imply that you have to be teaching (or even in) a class where the Lorenz curve is relevant. I struggle to see this as an on-topic post. It looks like an attempt to air some political point. If I had the slightest idea what the point was, I might well agree with it, but whatever it was, I don't care to see it here. Take this elsewhere.
