Sounds like one heck of a lot of "overhead". [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] I just read where the U.S. has a 450 BILLION dollar trade deficit now. Entry-level manufacturing jobs; which WERE the traditional pipeling by which one achieved middle class status: have been lost to China and elsewhere and what was a cornucopia of tax revenue is becoming a hollow shell. Social services will have to be paid for by property owners and others who are still "tax-vulnerable". It's going to get worse as smokestack jobs evaporate and the "new" economy based on cybernetics; which was fictitious to begin with; craps out. [img]/forums/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
