...only enrich the British and Japanese. Raise corporate tax rates past a certain point (not to say anyone knows exactly where that point is), and what you gain in revenue now you'd lose later -- by draining from corporations the money they could spend to expand and grow, and by making America a less attractive place for anyone, Americans or foreigners, to invest...

The Japanese pioneered this kind of architecture, building their own tea garden and baseball diamond on top of a treatment plant. But this will almost certainly be the largest such structure in the world...
