  1. Studies show well-being (happiness) is highest in countries with progressive income tax systems. The wealthy, and corporations, are taxed heavily while those in lower brackets are progressively taxed at lower rates and the governments use the additional money for infrastructure, reducing the debt and expanding educational and social welfare programs. It works. The population is much healthier and happier. The U.S. has done it before as well-- and it will very probably reverse our rates of depression, poverty, and ever-increasing mortality rate! Our life-expectancy has been on a downward slide for several years..... due primarily to feelings of despair if the studies are correct. Of course many want to drug themselves into oblivion these days! ....gad.............................!
