Our Galtian Overlords

A big mistake many people make is to assume that people who are successful in one area are talented and knowledgeable in others. Our local galtian overlords have a plan to tank the economy.

Roger Colley, a former president of two local environmental companies - Betz Laboratories and Envirogen - would try to reduce uncertainty for business by doing the following:

First, put all new regulations on hold and freeze federal spending, both for five years. Next, cut the corporate net income tax rate to 15 percent from a top rate of 35 percent and make the current rates for individuals permanent.

Finally, Washington needs to "start all over again" with its changes to the nation's health-care system, Colley said in an e-mail.

The internet tells me Betz Laboratories is a water treatment company.
