floods, or hurricanes, and the guys at the top of the food chain
should, indeed, be taxed enough to provide the necessary funding.

establishing headquarters in other countries, closing their phony 
offshore headquarters, and removing all tax shelters -- it sounds like a 
great start toward resolving problems caused by globalization.
