To say that the money has been taxed before (with the implication that it shouldn't be taxed again) is crazy talk.
Say I worked in a phone shop. When someone buys a phone they will pay a sales tax. When the shop pays me (from the money made by selling phones), I will pay income tax. If I then go shopping, should I able to go into a shop and say:
"I'm not paying any sales tax! This money has already been taxed"?
As far as I can see, taxes are applied for two main reasons:
to raise money to pay for public goods (e.g. the military, interstate highways)
to modify the economic behaviour of businesses and/or individuals where your elected representatives deems there to have been a failure in the market (e.g. taxing gas/petrol to offset the effects of pollution).
* Anyhow, the economics of software production don't fit with a free market economy as the marginal cost of production is effectively zero after the first copy. This means that for an efficent market to exist, the price should be zero, resulting in no commercially produced software (as no company can survive on zero income). i.e. Microsoft couldn't exist in a true free market economy.
George Lamsa's Syriac-Aramaic Peshitta translation of the New Testament has the word 'rope' in the main text but a footnote on Matthew 19:24 states that the Aramaic word gamla means rope and camel, possibly because the ropes were made from camel hair.
Matthew 19:24 therefore reads either:
"It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye..."
or
"It is easier for a rope to go through a needle's eye..."
From the article ""They did something that people have been trying to do for at least 30 years and literally hit a brick wall until now," said Dr. Naomi Keitman..."
Is this why they developed an interest in repairing spinal cord injuries? I think we should be told...
1) the 14 foot by 10 foot model produces 110 Volts and costs about 30 dollars per square metre
(they make no claims as to the wattage per square metre of their product)
2) this compares with current technology costing 300 dollars per square metre, which produces somewhere in the region of 120 watts per square metre.
3) they claim that their product produces cheaper electricity (i.e. it cost less to produce power than the current state of the art)
4) as their product is about 10% of the cost, their product only needs to be more than 10% as effecient as the current products to be better value.
In other words, someone has found a way to mass produce cheap but not very efficient solar cells

I think Google should check to see if any of Viacom's staff have been uploading videos while they are at it. Could be interesting...

Maybe this should be fitted to the cars of adults - the results could be sent to their local schools to show that they are setting a good example.

Now which do you think is more likely?

If anyone bothered to look at the website for the product http://www.nanosolar.com/products.htm they will find the following facts:
