This is a very poor example because using tax incentives to stimulate a wasting asset, real estate, is definitely wrong. Do you want to imply that tax incentives for broadband equipment are better? How do you know that today's technology isn't superseded by some unknown "superband system"? Tax incentives are just as bad a way of interfering with the free market as the many Fed "saving the world" procedures. What you mean is that the tax incentives provided a supply where there was little demand. Yep. You have written yourself that dial-up speed suffices for many tasks currently. Tax incentives for BB - providing supply for little demand, structurally comparable. tax cutting of all kinds gets a bad name I am not against a general cutting of tax levels. I oppose cutting taxes for specific targets identified by government. capitalism isn't practiced in Europe. It is, but not officially. Some scientists estimate the "black", i.e. tax-free market, to have an annual volume of DM 500 billion in Germany. That segment is pure capitalism.

C.A.R. News Releases Contact: Mark Giberson (213) 739-8304 E-mail: mark_giberson@car.org FOR RELEASE AT 11:00 A.M. PST Monday, June 18, 2001 SALES FLAT, HOME PRICES POST INCREASES IN ORANGE AND SAN DIEGO COUNTIES IN MAY LOS ANGELES (June 18) - Home sales in Orange County declined slightly by 0.2 percent in May and the median price of a single-family home rose 7.4 percent compared to the same period a year ago, according to a preliminary report released today by the California Association of REALTORS®. In San Diego County, sales rose by 1.1 percent while the median price increased 6.0 percent in May compared to the same period last year. The median price of an existing, single-family detached home in Orange County during May rose to $345,940, a 7.4 percent increase over the $322,080 median for May 2000. In San Diego County, the median price of an existing, single-family detached home in May was $293,310, up 6.0 percent from $276,650 in May 2000. Have we not done the same thing by creating the tax exclusion of two hundred thousand in residential property? Yet as i try to find median income in Ca i find that the food service business is forecast to be creating the largest increase in jobs. Speaking with tongue in cheek does that means the future of this state rests on the low income. Or does that mean that multi unit housing has a new twitch to it three bedrooms and three families. This is called the contraction of space!
