Economics - December 2007

I'm looking for the examples about newly developed land which sit idle. Could you give me some examples?

For example, In the wikipedia's explanation about industrial park, there is the following sentence
"During the 1970s to 1990s, there was a glut of industrial park development in the United States, resulting today in vast areas of industrial parks that sit idle and unsuited to other uses".

Would you name one or two?

We have millions of children living in poverty in this country, yet we send billions in foreign aid to other countries. Why can't we solve our poverty problems first?

Recently I asked how people felt about a national sales tax to replace the current IRS system of payroll/income taxes. Someone mentioned a flat tax system - I was wondering how a flat tax system could benefit the working poor and the middle class ? Would it be better for them , or would it just save the rich more money ?

Because my friend keeps pushing this **** on me that communism is better that capitalism. I beg to differ. I'd rather have a balance of both peace and freedom with capitalism rather than give up one for the other with communism. Look at rural China, now tell me would communism work for Canada? I need your opinions because I strongly disagree.

I noticed some changes in the currency over the last year, like in Australia, the American dollar was selling from $0.60 (approx) to $0.88.

However, no matter the changes, the goods imported never seem to differ in price. In fact, they only go up!

Why?
