The political bias is evident in the structure shown in Ballmer's chart. Problems include categories NOT specified by the Constitution, and the claims that certain goals fall under certain categories. People who think that federal funding (and thus control) of education promotes liberty, are sadly mistaken.
You and Laffer both have an unstated and hidden assumption, that maximizing tax revenue is a good goal. It's not; the long-term maximization of the income of Americans is a good goal.
Since much of the money that the government takes in is used to inhibit production and remove incentives to work, it's fairly safe to claim that the tax level that maximizes long-term American income is below the rate that maximizes tax revenue.
In addition, a tax rate below the maximum revenue rate increases freedom.
I included the phrase "long-term" for a specific reason. While a zero tax rate would maximize the income of Americans for the short term, the lack of a military that would come from a zero tax rate would eventually result in the end of the USA, and hence no income for Americans.
The "problems that were not being adequately handled before those programs were created" were Democrats not having permanent mandatory control over every person in the country. Fortunately, the programs were not entirely successful in achieving this goal.
4 day work week, no change in hours worked. Commute time reduced 20%. One whole additional day to do errands, etc.. Disadvantage: more difficult to arrange for child care in families with no spare adult.
Possibly, but there's another effect that might apply that would also poison the results. Employees tend to value any change that makes them feel their company is trying to make things better for them, regardless of the direction of the change as long as it's not obviously bad.
With a webcam any textbook can be copied in an hour or less. From that time on, it's just a bunch of JPEGs that can be distributed freely until you're caught.
Do a good job photographing, and the images can be converted back to text.
Anybody paying full tuition is likely having some of their money used to fund someone else's scholarship. In other words, if you're paying full tuition, you're paying more than your academic expenses.
officials... needed to be able to confidentially interview employees.
Does nobody see anything suspicious about this? Bribes? (We've got this nice package of cash for you if you help us take down Google.) Intimidation? (Your husband works for the government. Do you want him to lose his job?) Rubber hoses?
Shut down the Department of Labor and prosecute its officials.
Most companies have annual raises and the amount is set by your perceived value to the company.
Argue about the amount of your raise just once, and management takes note of the fact and offers you less the next time, so that you'll be satisfied with the amount you argue up to.
There are companies that encourage aggressive behaviour (and if you're a nice guy they're miserable places to work) and such places will follow your model, but those places are not in the majority.
The most widely accepted hypothesis for Earth's moon is that it resulted from a collision of Earth and another body. No macroscopic life survives that, probably no life at all.

And your post contradicts the GP how?
Whether a plant is new or a relocation is largely a matter determined by the bias of the regulators.
Just bomb them back to the stone age -- oh wait -- too late.

Problem is leftists use bullshit to try to obscure the fact that their goal is to transfer all wealth to themselves

Which is why computer programs have already reached the human level.

The lack of vision in Starship Troopers is astonishing. The best weapon they can come up with is a machine gun?

In part, government intervention has disconnected costs from results.
Are the magnets any damn good? There are plenty of poor quality magnetic materials, like the old alnico series.
Praying properly is like using phlogiston properly.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s DJs would talk over the instrumental intro anyway, do what was the point of having the intro?

If the military is defunded we'll be dead. Seems like a poor tradeoff.
Literate people hate your post.
Whoosh

You anti-Americans are such sluts.
