The History Of American Women

Sarah Palin Is An Heir To The Women's Movement. She Has Not Been Constrained By Gender. At No Point In Her Life Has She Thought, 'i Can't Do That Because I'm A Woman.'

Texas Has No Income Tax, Which Is A Big Draw For Corporate Executives Who Do Business There. But It's Hardly Tax-free. The Property Taxes Are High For A Southern State. The Sales Taxes Are High. One Study Found That The Bottom 20 Percent Of The Texas Population Pays 12 Percent Of Its Income In State And Local Taxes.

One Line I'd Draw Would Be On Raising The Eligibility Age For Social Security And Medicare. It Sounds Fair, Since People Are Living Longer. But It Isn't. Lower Income Workers Are The Ones Who Find It Hardest To Keep Working After 65. And They'll Get Penalized With Lower Benefits.

It Is More A Mentality Than The Actual Places People Live, As Jefferson And Hamilton Would Argue About - City Versus Country. For Example, Someone Could Have An Empty Place Mentality Yet Be Living In A Condo In Boca Raton.

When The Women's Movement Started In The 1960s, There Was A Vision Of A Future Where Women Didn't Wear Makeup Or Worry About How Their Hair Looked, And Everybody Wore Sensible, Comfortable Clothes. It Ran Into An Absolute Brick Wall.
