Dan,
I am not happy with public water, could you advocate a law to subsidize my
buying private bottle water? Let the poor drink the polluted stuff. I know,
you're going to say people with money like me are likely the cause of widespread
pollution rather than poor but life is unfair. Whether I earned my money
or not is secondary to my greater right to a better life--the golden rule
of economics. This good country should take care of it's monied folks, for
we are the ones who pay for the campaigns. If the poor are not willing to
invest in and work for a career politician dedicated to helping the wealthy,
then the poor deserve the boredom of poordom --what dribbles down both in
dirty jobs and dirty water. Someone should have the cream. So, in the vein
of your other articles, please start preparing the country for tax supports
for private water. That's what they are doing in Texas with the oil folk
buying up the rights to aquifers. Smart people. Get tax credits. Don't let
anyone tell you that segregating the water drinking into rich and poor is
a new Jim Crow law, ya know, separate water fountains. If we can segregate
education founts based on wealth like it was with the compassionate conservatives
on the plantations before the great war of northern aggression, and like
at Ole Miss before the civil wrongs movement, we ought to able to save the
good water for the white folk, for mostly white folk can afford the private
water. I know you are a smart man otherwise you wouldn't be writing for newsweek.
