Assuming that a tax increase is necessary, it is clearly preferable to impose the additional cost on land by increasing the land tax, rather than to increase the wage tax - the two alternatives open to the city (of pittsburgh). it is the use and occupancy of property that creates the need for the municipal services that appear as the largest item in the budget - fire and police protection, waste removal, and public works. the average increase in tax bills of city residents will be about twice as great with wage tax increase than with a land tax increase.

I love, cherish, and respect women in my mind, in my heart, and in my soul. this love of women is the soil in which my life is rooted. it is the soil of our common life together. my life grows out of this soil. in any other soil, i would die. in whatever ways i am strong, i am strong because of the power and passion of this nurturant love.

Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which has carried its owner over even one inch of ground. never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. never has there been a scroll, even such as the one i hold, which so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. action, alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my plans, my goals, into a living force. action is the food and drink which will nourish my success. i will act now.

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.
Understanding Levels Action
