Compared to other industrial nations americans pay an almost negliglegeble ammount of taxes. And the while the education system is, and the medical system are falling appart the people in the top tier of society are getting richer and richer. I would say to ensure that the next generation is well educated and secure america needs to get over this off balanced capitalistic aditude raise he income tax by about 500% and socialize medicine and education. So every single person who wants to receive a college education is able to do so. Bigthink Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:19:38 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/outlook-the-future/9550/#13645
