Can We Tax Away Innovation?

I have been catching up on the Daily Show over the last few days, and tonight I watched Stewart speak about the economy with renowned economist Joseph Sitglitz.  Stiglitz is a former Chief Economist of the World Bank and professor at Columbia University.  One piece of the discussion especially caught my attention:

If you look at those who have made the most important contributions in our society, the guys who did the basic ideas behind the computer…medicine…DNA…they didn’t do it for money.  And if you had taxed them at 80% they would have done what they did.  So, this notion that innovation depends on the tax rate I think is absurd.

Limitless, Movie

We only use 20% of our brainpower.  What if you could unlock its full potential?

What do these people do with their lives?

College, Free Time, Video Games

I think I’ve heard music and N64 from my neighbors room for about 75% of the last week.  What the heck.  Wish I had that much free time…

I swear this is 24/7…
