December 8: A cold day with 5 miles of warming up with hot topics: minimum wage increase (yes, but beware diminishing returns); unexpected consequences of decisions; wealth used to be created by labor, but now?  There may have been some agreement on the proposition that government can be expected to help the poor and underemployed with a redistribution of the wealth back downward by taxing the upper brackets more.

December 15  At 9 a.m. meet at South Waterfront (SW Moody and Curry). Study up on Simpson-Bowles, here for starters and maybe we get to discuss it.
