Lizzie, How is the rental and home sales market in San Mateo County these days? Any significant changes from last year? I completely agree with you about outsourcing. These companies have no souls. I can't believe the government lets these companies get away with this behavior. It should be taxed heavily. Conan

In particular, what's going on with the tax on corporate profits? That source of revenue is down, as a percent of G.D.P., to 1930's levels. No, that's not a misprint. And receipts are not growing nearly as fast as one would expect, given an economic recovery that has bypassed workers but given big gains to their employers. An administration that actually tried to make corporations pay their taxes might be able to find $100 billion or more each year. nytimes.com
