1. Do you think the current distribution of income in the United States is too unequal? Why or why not? What criteria do you think should be used to judge the fairness of the distribution of income? Is the final outcome more important than the process that generates the income?

I'm sorry, now it's called a "Fair Tax".

Do you honestly think adding a 20% sales tax to every purchase made wouldn't impact consumer spending? It would be the equivalent of having 20% inflation.

Most taxpayers wouldn't pay any less in real dollar amounts and lower income people would actually pay more because they spend a higher percentage of their incomes.

And don't say it won't matter because people will be "taking home their entire paycheck for a change". Most people are too foolish to think of their income in the long-term but everyone notices when prices on goods they buy every day go up across the board.

All this is doing is shifting a tax burden from households to businesses that provide goods and services.

Hi. Im 15, but do have an interest in Economics, and have a very vague idea of the topic. (I do understand basic things like supply+demand, interest rates, inflation...)

Would someone please be able to explain why the Northern Rock Crisis occured, and exactly what this means? I'm sorry if I do sound naive, but - well any business section in the newspaper is too full of jargon for me to properly understand.

Please just relate this to the British Economy, and the credit crunch....


Thank you for this - I really want to understand and I have to start off somewhere!!!

I was thinking about this concept and came to some confusing ideas. If product demand is low price shuold go up, or should they go down to encourage sales?.. if demand is high, price should go down, then again it should go up to make greater profit and to cope with extra production cost..

This question popped up in my mind. Who do you think would win in a debate over capitalism; Karl Marx or Adam Smith?

This is merely out of curiousity.

How else to define it? Wal Mart allows people to buy goods that were at one time barred by economics.
