In present circumstances GM and Chrysler or indeed IBM might be small business depending on where you put the cut. Not only that, in order to qualify for subsidies some companies would break themselves up into multiple units and soak up the cash. Meanwhile, they would continue to treat all their employees as day labor, or even piecework employees. I think the better idea is to have an understanding that business is purely about people who have big money getting still more while government is about people who don't have any money getting enough money - people who, strange as it may seem to some, have a "right to life" acknowledged in the Declaration of Independence. Milton Friedman had a good idea about negative income tax. That would even up the game in a hurry. Of course, you would have to precede it with capital flight laws but that isn't impossible either. Never mind work, there isn't that much work nowadays, machines do the work. Yes, capital plays a role and should receive some compensation, but not all the compensation. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
