Luv2Fall 0 #26 January 29, 2004 Well..........it would suck having lost a job there and I do feel for the workers - we all have to eat; however, I agree.............Kodak was not meeting the ever changing consumer demands in the industry. Companies such as Kodak cannot quit being innovative and hope to keep its share of the market. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdgregory 0 #27 January 29, 2004 You should reap the rewards of your labors without having to support those who refuse to work. or If you collect wellfare you will be put to work by helping clean litter on streets, repaint government buildings, cut public grass, pave public roads. And you will be required to attend school at night (trade or college) to learn a marketable skill. You only get soemthing out of the system if you put something into it. You shall be held accountable for your actions, no more "not guilty cause my daddy never hugged me". You will only be required to pay taxes toward those services that you use. You drive, you help pay for roads. You use public schools you pay for them, you use public parks you pay for the maintainance. Politicians income shall be put to a popular vote by the people they represent. Don't like it? Get a job an work for a living. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #28 January 29, 2004 Agree with most of yours, except. QuoteYou will only be required to pay taxes toward those services that you use. You drive, you help pay for roads. You use public schools you pay for them, you use public parks you pay for the maintainance. That's just not feasible. That would require all roads to be toll roads, all public lands to charge admission, all schools to collect tickets at the door. As a society there has to be some shared responsibilities. Agree with this, too...it's interesting because back a hundred years ago or so, congressman actually had full time jobs in addition to the congressional work. It was a service they provided in addition to their normal work load. When and why did that change? QuotePoliticians income shall be put to a popular vote by the people they represent. Don't like it?

Not necessarily, gasoline taxes, license fees etc would do it. I have a NPS seasonal pass so I can visit without paying per use. Saves me a lot of money too. I this area, the also have Smart Tag which is an electronic sensor which allow you to speed thru the toll booths with out stopping.

I do not see why this would require rods to be toll rods. We could tax the hell out of gas, charge more for vehicle registrations, increase automobile sales tax, etc. (It would not be much of an increase because almost everybody drives.) Shared responsibilities include things like, do not litter, do not run your car into the guy walking in the cross walk, etc. As far as public schools, tickets would not be necessary either, private schools work under this princicpal and they do not have tickets.
