By the way A Smith is right on the money. Hamilton's economic development plans for too long have been more about GETTING wealth rather than CREATING wealth. The result? Just take a walk in downtown Hamilton or along Barton street and ask me if this policy has worked.

Ahh, that argument? The "Take a look downtown" argument. Relentless, timeless. Regardless of the foundation for that argument, many cities (if not all) can attest to a bad downtown experience in one way or another. "It's not the same as in the '50s!", say the boomers. Nothing is the same anymore. The way cities are developed, designed or how we treat our neighborhoods. Yet we just keep lingering and sit in constant nostalgia of the good ole days. Remember those?

A Smith, the views of most of the posters on this site are to be expected. Their incomes are probably to low to be even paying taxes, thus they think it is okay to STEAL the wealth CREATED by others.

The taxes. Always with the taxes. The shining day of low taxes will garner the spirit and high life we've always dreamed. The only thing standing in the way are the taxes! What a thought. Ever has a complex problem been solved with a one-tiered approach? Doubtful.

The one true answer is a resource-based economy. A resource-based economy trumps captialism, communism, libertarianism, socialism, etc.

This toppled tower of greed will once again be built with the greatest intentions.
