The Commonwealth gave in. Ditto Raytheon.<BR/><BR/>Now, a university can't do that, but they could say we are opening a satelite campus in New Hampshire as the environment here is not so inviting and we might move some programs there.<BR/><BR/>Would it work? The quality our General Court (the official name of our legislature that long predates 1776) is most known for is not courage.<BR/><BR/>My bet, outside of some token charges, nothing much changes.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960651924212712003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611021408437270881.post-57116387800623038712008-05-19T13:33:00.000-07:002008-05-19T13:33:00.000-07:00The elite have stolen all the money and it is most...The elite have stolen all the money and it is mostly all safely off shore in tax shelters.

If we are...Harvard is a business, pure and simple. If we are going to tax Exxon, then taxing Harvard for its role in promoting elitism, is more than fair.<BR/><BR/>For parents putting over a quarter of a million into a college education which can be had for a fraction at a state institution or lesser college, such large endowments are an abomination.<BR/><BR/>I guess the state is jealous of the vast sums of money that Harvard has and wants to take it.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the right attitude is to drop all theft taxes, whether they be from business or personal income. The constitution allowed only for ungraduated taxes until the 20th century, and relied largely on tariffs for funding.<BR/><BR/>In the longer view, the use of Harvard and colleges will disappear as the internet replaces the seat and instructor with the talking head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
