    I tend to be a pretty cynical person and of the mind that i'll see things and then I believe.

    And even then?

    Went back to read the page and still have my doubts.

    One thing that amused me was the idea that the bigger market a manufacturer has of a market the more they will be taxed in order to drive the costs down?

    So, If you are ABC corp and you have 75% of a market, let's say ear widgets, and now you must pay a larger tax what is to keep you from spinning off or breaking up your company into divisions?

    Are you going to pay more taxes to keep up you margins and what about the stockholders? Where does their profits go and what does that do to the prices of the ear widgets?

    Do you scale back production and lay off more people in order to lower your percentage of the market?

    I don't do any of the biz shows/networks and could not run a company to save my life but, I do see problems with that part of the program. It's common sense to me.

    If you threaten to tax a company more because they control a larger market share that only means trouble.

    That is the point where CEOs get creative with the bottom line and the phrase 'creative marketing' comes into play.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
