Have a good life GerPol. I hope your wallowing in misery ends somewhere and that you find contentment. >Maybe your group would actually engage in some NEW forward looking dogmas. Sure, bring them on! New ideas are always welcome, but they are subject to critical examination. Some ideas don't survive that. Sorry. >Lets have all corporations pay no tax what so ever !!! That's been considered. After all, it is double taxation. >Instead of testing teachers to see if they are fit to teach lets test all CEO's and politicians to see if they are psychopaths. When CEOs have kids in their grasp for 6 hours/day, I'll think about it. >some of you will be able to work 70 hrs a week Anybody that wants to can already work 70 hours a week. Many entrepreneurs do, and grow businesses that provide half the jobs in this country in the process. What is your point? The limitation for most people is that they would have to find something useful to do in those 70 hours if they expect to get paid for it. That doesn't mean they should expect someone else to give them a job; working and being given a job by someone else are not necessarily the same thing. I, for one, would not be afraid to work 70 hours/week if I were allowed to keep the fruits of my labours. If I could, I would be able to retire comfortably 5 years from now. As it is, working more than I am results in seriously diminishing returns. -g Afterthought: Aren't you glad we all have only one vote?
