Inconvenient Links for February 5, 2008
Currently open in my browser tabs:
- From Carpe Diem, in 2004, Exxon (XOM) paid $27B in taxes–the same amount as the bottom 50 percent of the population.
- Via Marginal Revolution, the credit crunch that wasn’t.
- Via Knowledge Problem, a futures market for sports tickets.
- From Cato @ Liberty, the holes in Bush’s proposed budget. $3.1 trillion with a T.
- From Coyote Blog, Pittsburgh public school numbers. The current school system is designed more to benefit administrators than students.
Enjoy…
Regarding (1), remember that the top 50% of Americans pay 96% of all income taxes, or, in other words, the bottom 50% pay only 4%.
