It’s funny that our legislators still have this Cold-War bunker mentality that we’re only redistributing wealth for the sake of punishing the successful, not to improve society as a whole or to remain competitive with Chindia or anything wacky like that.

Mr. Pearce’s observation is quite valid. The attitude that there is no unreasonable level of income redistribution is alarmingly common.
The Dos Centavos blog has a piece by Carlos Guerra (San Antonio Express News) on funding for education in Texas. In this economy other states are facing similar issues because education seems like an easy target to some, I guess. This is where our leaders must show vision! Am very proud of those marching and trying to open people’s eyes. Thanks for all your updates and comments, we appreciate your efforts.
