Another
tidbit from Mother Jones. Nine days ago the Israeli cabinet responded to
several months of demonstrations about the high cost of living and so they
agreed to increase taxes on corporations and folk with high incomes. Now here
is the fun part, high incomes include folk who annual incomes is over $130,000
a year. Wow!
They
also decided to cut their defense budget by 5%, 850 million over the next
couple of years. Bear in mind that we pay 18% of their military budget. Looks
like a good cost cutting place for us as well.
