Richard,

re: All the really large things civilizations have accomplished involved governments.

An investment tax credit would be the one thing that would improve business, and probably rally the market immediately. Then the capital would flow to where it was the most profitable, if it was fibre optic to the home, that's where the money would go.

The government is considering an investment tax credit and/or a cap gains tax cut. It's much easier politically to give back money to tax payers, than to business. But if you want to seed a recovery, the investment tax credit is the way to go (all IMHO).

John
