POV-RED: Sprung

[Jeffery J SMITH <geonomist@juno.com>]

Dear and curious friends;

Merry Equinox. This world works in wondrous ways. Did you know …

Bush expanded the budget, already sizeable, for IRS enforcement, too?
Martin Luther King advocated a social salary and ancient Athens paid it?
Capitalists were never as rich nor as numerous as the big rentiers?
Top economists called their field “the celestial mechanics of a
nonexistent world”?
Four governments are debating the merits of de-taxing buildings while
collecting ground rents?
The World Bank again and a Chamber of Commerce endorsed collecting site
rents?
IBM is tossing out a very geonomic proposal?
Resource-rich Third World countries suffer the most strife?
One third of US paper money is stored abroad?
The US lost billions to a spectrum bidder while granting billions to
agri-business?
The steep rise in home costs (actually land costs) is leveling off in
some places?
Agitation against the property tax is building up again?

Tell a friend, even a list of them.

Sorry for any duplicate posts. To avoid this announcement in the future,
please reply with the same heading but with the word “remove” prominently
in the body. Thanks.
