Betnie lives in Vermont what’s his problem? A wealth tax should be passed at the federal level. Levying a wealth tax at a state level will drive wealth away to other states. Get them to pay for resources used to build the business. Not for generating wealth.

NIH’s move toward multiyear funding is a major reason for the drop in grant numbers: The agency now commits several years of funding at once to fewer awards, rather than paying for projects one year at a time. www.the-scientist.com/federal-rese...
