Hi Sam, Ant...
As I have high hopes for this discussion, allow me to dispense with
the notion that stopping government subsidies on both sides of the
economic divide is all that is necessary to produce a fair socio-
economic system.
Subsidies to the poor side of the divide were introduced in reaction
to the tremendous inequities caused by 200 years of rapacious
economic practices Simply stopping them and expecting economically
disadvantaged people to somehow magically compete on an equal footing
is a bit of regressive idiocy I hope we can avoid in this discussion.
Thanks,
Mark Steven Heyman (msh)
