"School taxes"? Where do you pay "school taxes"? Money for schools comes from state (and to a lesser and more indirect extent, federal) income taxes.

Property tax pays for schools and education.

Well then we'll power our transportation with Nucleic energy!!

Seriously, how much money could someone make with a car that run on a controlled nuclear reaction? (Nuke-you-lur in BushCo Parlence)

Honestly, after reading Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead and then considering the state of American Manufacturing (or lack thereof) I can easily see how a cheaply powered Toyota-Lean style factory could easily compete (perhaps even undersell) a Chinese sweatshop. I know we have to deal with NIMBY, BANANA, etc... but most of those sentiments lie in the coastal areas. How opposed would, say, South Dakota be to creating a small Nuclear Reactor next to a linen factory or steel mill or whatever? In fact oil refining companies are already opening a plant in SD. Imagine if Hyperion moved in and said, "Oh yeah... we're going to use a small nuclear reactor to power the refinery. That way, we can provide even cheaper products."

Maybe not the best example, but seriously, why don't we do this?

All voting software and results should be subject to scrutany by the OSS community. All fraud is shallow when subjected to so many eyeballs.

Your argument is so compelling that it helped me make up my own mind on the matter. The way to do this is with paper, and anyone who forges the official paper ballots is subject to Big Trouble. Putting data on the paper is not so difficult. Neither is automation of the reading of the paper. South Dakota is simple, and its sparse diffuse population would naturally "disfavor" paper balloting, but it works out ok.
