This is an excellent thread and I'm glad to know there are others out there with common sense! In my view, the tax rebate is the most egregious form of communism (income redistribution) seen in recent memory. Nothing but political pandering which only fosters this country's sense of entitlement and prolongs the agony which lies ahead.
We are no longer a truly capitalistic society. Overregualtion and manufacturing disincentives (taxes, environmetal constraints, labor, etc.) are hindering our continued development as a nation and will ultimately cripple us to second tier status.
Until we change our materialistic and self-centric views as a society little will change. there needs to be an emphasis on education especially of the trades and manufacturing fields. Our government needs to re-emphasize and foster the creation and development of manufacturing jobs within our borders. This is a tall order indeed!
