all there is to know; and I will settle for knowing all the rest.  J

Maybe in this country (and even in the industrialized world) we have gotten
too fat and really need less of everything -  including lower standards of
living, conspicuous consumption, businesses whose focus is on producing
profits and not good and services, employment at routine bureaucratic "glass
bead" types of jobs which service and remedy problems of our own making and
design ( accountants, lawyers, CEOs, advertising and PR departmental
personnel, etc. come to mind).

If you tax something, you get less of it. Tax (disparate) wealth, not income
or
consumption. --CGE


The counter argument, of course, is that if you tax business you get less of
it, which means fewer jobs, etc.

There's no "right" answer, especially in this global marketplace with no
sense of community or mutual accountabiity.  Just about everyone wants to
arrogate the assets to himself/herself, and pass the liabilities on to
someone else.  This recent bailout is only the most glaring and hypocritical
example of it.

Yeah, that is another part I dislike. The families with more people in
school
would pay more tax.

We all benefit from educating the young. WE ALL benefit.

We all need to invest in educating the children, and we all need to be
offended when the education system is broken.
