This article started badly and went worse. Needs a LOT of intellectual rigor. Evolution hypothesis wasn't tested, study wasn't very useful at disproving anything or solidly claiming anything. A life well lived I believe has been s

I have a problem when people call tax burdens fair. There are so many ways to define fair its rediculous and has no solid meaning. Also, on that note, its not logically possible to tax a business alone. Any tax a business pays must by neces
