Rather than moaning at the market machinations draining dollars directly from poorer personal pockets, might we not work to empower ourselves to return some of those dollars back into the community by way of a local-option corporate income tax? For-profit entities that want to organize themselves to voraciously vacuum value from personal pockets and purses ought to have more opportunities to participate in public priorities via their increased income increments being carefully collected into coffers. Perilous pavement potholes don't fill themselves -- they need assistance.<br>
