Reply #5: Preventative care...especially for our kids

is a no brainer.
Yes...the bottom line is we need responsible government to bring along QUALITY driven industries that deliver QUALITY products that all feed into a more efficient corporate America.

It's not so much that we're losing because of competition worldwide...it's more because of corporate America going sour, selling out, not investing in it's workforce and not fully embellishing what Dr. Deming said about quality. We have become a model for INEFFICIENT capitalism....and when it gets this bad....and so economically irresponsible....it stifles itself.

The fix is not that cataclysmic. First raise the upper rate back to 40%, the rich won't suffer as we already know....get back to a balanced budget....business will keep humming along as we've proven before in Clinton/Gore, and start investing money in renewable energies.

Last nite on Air America a brilliant caller proposed that as a replacement for the proposals to just drill anywhere for oil we take just 1% of the defense budget and invest that in renewable energy solutions.
