The U.S. Population is represented along the length of the football field above, arranged in order of income. Median U.S. family income (the family at the 50-yard line) is $40,000, or a stack of $100 bills 1.6 inches high. The family on the 95 yard line earns about $100,000 per year, or a stack of bills 4 inches high. At the 99 yard line, the income is about $300,000, or a stack of $100 dollar bills about 1 foot high. The curve reaches $1 million-- a tack 40 inches high-- one foot from the goal line.

* What does this graphic representation imply about the distribution of wealth in our economy?
* What changes would be required in order to more evenly distribute wealth? Would any of these changes entail changing the entire governmental or economic system?

I am a Christian. i like being a Christian.

I dont mind being ridiculed, or my faith being brought up all the time (actually i quite like it! I wasnt always a Christian, most my friends and my whole family are not Christians - their not "bad" people either their nice in their jesting).

Being an anti religion crusader for most my life, i know most of the questions to shut up religious freaks dead in their tracks. A brief look on how i became a Christian, i met a girl (she was a Christian), i liked her so i started going to church (oh dear), i met people and liked the way they lived their lives, free, happy, loving, friendships... it was awesome! But i was still no Christian, but i was looking into it!

When i looked into it i answered all my questions i used to use against people like i am now, and then some! My question isnt really a question its a thought, if i show you a flower you've never seen before and said it had no smell would you believe me? Or would to take a sniff?

A retired couple haven't paid any taxes for years, but she is now getting her social security and the two incomes may make them over the wire to pay taxes. They asked me how much can they make and still not pay any taxes?
Another question: If you make under do you still have to file to pay state tax?

This is a serious question because I really don't know. If I want to dig up a space of my yard, I use a mattock or a shovel. I even have clay-filled soil that can get moderately hard, but it's just a little bit of sweat, so I don't mind.

What's the advantage of using a roto-tiller?

My 6 yr old attends a private school that is closing next year. She is in Kindergarten. Next year she is going to public school and I received information that she will need to know for 1st grade. After reviewing it with my daughter, she dosen't have the concept of:
Telling time to the hour,
her sight words,
or understanding addition and subtraction

So, dispite the fact I paid for this school to teach my daughter, they have not done a good job of it and now I need to do it at home. But how?

I need teaching methods for possible learning disabled children. I do not know if she is disabled or if her teacher just didn't teach her.

Please help me, I don't want her to struggle next year.

I'm going on a 1000-mile charity tour in france/spain/portugal in summer with 3mates. We're being self sufficient (tents/bags etc) so can anyone with experience recomend which mode of carrying would be better? ta
Guessing if we go with trailer then prob go with one and take turns carrying the rest on racks.
