RM> It was just reported that he has promissed big tax cuts to the rich RM> and that he expected to use the tariffs to pay for it. AT>I haven't heard about that promise, but are they referring to corporations? >Tax cuts for corporations can lead to good things for average Americans, and >it can prevent them from taking their business overseas. The way it was said was he would make the Billionairs even richer, although one thing may affect both to some extent. RM> But prices can't stay this high or wages will catch up to match. RM> I bought my first place on a high too and, although prices didn't RM> drop, they didn't go up any more for the next 8 or so years either RM> so the incomes eventually caught up with the costs. AT>Incomes catching up with costs sounds like a fairy tale. Does that really hap >? I've never seen it happen before. It's a lot harder this time around I will admit although one person I know totally on disability was able to buy a lower priced house and carry it on his income. Disability pays a little more than minimum wage here, but not much. Actually, that may be wrong.. It pays more than the minimum pension pays seniors but probably not as much as minimum wage which in Ontario for a 40 hour week pays almost $36,000 a year. RM> For a while one principal had removed all books RM> from the school library that had white people in them. I had to ask RM> her twice to clarify that, and that's correct. They only had books RM> there that had minority characters in them. Fortunately the next RM> principal a couple of years later backed off on that. AT>Similar events have taken place here. The left used to complain about equalit >and now that we've achieved that, they seem to be taking us back to inequalit >nce more. Yes, anything taken to extremes does harm. If you benefit one group another suffers. You'd think by now we could strive for treating everyone fairly, with penalties for not doing that, rather than trying to swing things 100% to greatly benefit a different group while harming someone else.. --- * SLMR Rob * To boldy going forward... because we can't find reverse * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
