Didn't think I would agree with Nynco on anything reading through the thread to this point but I will agree with the welfare to work/CCC program idea. Instead of just giving away money with little needed to qualify why not expect a return on investment? I'm sure there are more than a few on government programs that could pour concrete and asphalt. 2 birds with one stone I guess. The 90% tax rate thing though...yeah good luck with that. Seems like the surest way to push the best thinkers and businessmen into early retirement. I've said it before and I'll say it again, when push comes to shove these boys will have no problem taking the ball and going home.
