This was the first time I have ever heard an audience break into a round of applause at the end.
A wealth tax would be rational if it was related to the expected return and in place of income taxes on dividends. I have been proposing for years a very simplified income / wealth tax system Simply lower the income tax rate to 20% flat and add a 1% wealth tax. This assumes a long term return of 5% on wealth no matter what and eliminates dividend taxes as well.

Cover their heads with cloth bags - that will disorient them. If the bags are thick enough to not let them be heard they will only be talking to themselves.

I went to school at UC Davis. It has historically been one of the quieter UC campuses. I know exactly where this took place and don't blame the police for breaking up the demonstrations. But one thing escapes me - why not just wet them down good and then throw a tarp over the entire crowd. When they start to get really cold in the dark and can't see the people around them applauding they will get up and out.

I would recommend the Israels leave some of their nuclear weapons under the Western Wall - with booby traps.

All the individual did was prove that he didn't know anything and had no imagination. And made sure I will never pay anything for anything handled by longshoremen.

My favorite saying is that it is not the question you answer wrong that kills you - it is the question you don't ask. And Dr. Sowell expressed that perfectly
