&qu...not related to taxes,but might be of interest<br /><br />"Economies naturally grow. People innovate as they go through life. They also look around at what others are doing and adopt better practices or tools. They invest, accumulating financial, human and physical capital.<br />Something is deeply wrong if an economy is not growing, because it means these natural processes are impeded. That is why around the world, since the Dark Ages, lack of growth has been a signal of political oppression or instability. Absent such sickness, growth occurs.”<br />– Adam Posen, “Debate: The Case for Slower Growth”Parznoreply@blogger.com
