    What happens when we put idle home equity to work in maximum-unded, tax-advantaged insurance contracts?

    We can stimulate the economy and enjoy tax-ree retirement savings and income.

    Government should derive tax revenue rom a vibrant economy stimulated byreal investments rather than creating an artifcial stimulus, borrowed rom uturetax dollars.
