Could I make a comment on taxation?
If I'm correct in this, at one time didn't business carry, slightly, the tax burden for the country? That has changed over the past years, and now it's the middle class that's actually carrying the largest tax burden for the amount of money brought in. They're paying a higher percentage of income tax than businesses are.
Wouldn't it be a little more equitable if businesses started to carry their fair share of taxes? After all, they're getting services from the government. You wouldn't have to go back that far, but go back far enough to where business is actually carrying their fair share.
