Another great podcast, guys.
Brian, if I may disagree about the tax issue – The whole purpose of taxes is to redistribute a part of the circulating money so it benefits everybody.
Ideally, everybody should pay taxes according to what they make, and that money would go into making well-maintained roads and streets, well equiped and trained police and fire corps, good public schools, an efficient public transportation system, good public hospitals (yeah, I know this one is a very hot topic over there these days) etc, etc, etc.
It’s not, as I see it, punishing people for making money at all – It’s making people contribute proportionally so that the government can assure that certain services that it must provide are available and running smoothly so it benefits EVERYONE. Especially in the case of big companies, like BP, that get all sorts of incentives to operate whenever a city or state wants that kind of business in their place.
The problem is when tax money isn’t well managed to corruption and/or incompetence. Then the people don’t get the services they should get (or get those services in a shoddy way) AND THEN taxes become just another burden on people, truly a punishment for making money.
