There are only 3 sources of wealth generation: MINING, MANUFACTURING, AND AGRICULTURE. Any other vocation or business is taking from the bottom line of another. In '92 Slick Willie said he'd help the economy by putting more people to work by cleaning the environment. This does not generate wealth, only consumes wealth. Wealth needs to be generated by one of the above 3 categories in order to have something to spend for all the other non-productive categories. Think about it. Selling insurance doesn't create wealth - it only uses money in the system. The recreation industry doesn't create wealth - again, it only uses the money in the system. Lawn care doesn't create wealth, it uses what some productive person has already earned. Transportation doesn't create wealth, but it does help move the production to places of use. Only government employees think they have any value in the economy when, in fact, they're sucking the life of productive workers and redistributing the wealth. KRM
