The Plaintiffs's boom ended in the mid-80's and since then its been nothing but tort reform, declining pay, growing tuition and more and more TTT's opening up.

Date: August 1st, 2012 2:56 PM Author: Silver Space Most lawyers work at firms with 10 lawyers or less. The bulk of the profession aint doing corporate work and the number of mom and pop businesses in the US is at a 50 year low so the little dudes who made their living doing the local bakeries acquisition of the bakery across town are fucked too.

lolwut? Not in my experience brother |
|
Date: August 1st, 2012 2:58 PM Author: aggressive international law enforcement agency market Higher operating expenses means they would have to raise taxes and/or tuition, which is incredibly unpopular. Look at the cost of education in Canada, the UK, and Europe, and what happened when Quebec tried to increase tuition to like 4k per year.

|
Date: August 1st, 2012 3:16 PM Author: aggressive international law enforcement agency market When the government controls the purse strings for university budgets, the university is prevented from increasing costs and simply raising tuition fees to cover them. You have frequent government-mandated tuition freezes at the provincial level in Canada. Forces schools to make do with less campus landscaping, larger class sizes, lower admin costs, etc...

|
Date: August 1st, 2012 3:17 PM Author: Topaz Heaven Mood you're conflating tuition fees with taxes. Throughout history gov't has had no problem raising taxes on us whenever they want a little extra spare change. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2011359&forum_id=2#21233527) |

Date: August 1st, 2012 3:20 PM Author: aggressive international law enforcement agency market Why didn't Obama just raise taxes 5% across the board and wipe out the deficit? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2011359&forum_id=2#21233562) |
|
Date: August 1st, 2012 3:28 PM Author: Topaz Heaven Mood The deficit for 2012 is $1.327 TRILLION on revenues of $2.4 TRILLION. Even if Obama raised tax revenue 25% across the board he still wouldn't wipe out the deficit. And nice strawman attempting to compare raising taxes across the board to generating tax revenue to fund a specific appropriation.
Thank you, please come again. |
|
Date: August 1st, 2012 3:49 PM Author: aggressive international law enforcement agency market The point is this: if the school is funded through taxes and tuition fees, and you have frozen tuition fees, the only way to increase spending is through higher taxation. This is MUCH more difficult than a private US school that decides to raise tuition fees 8% a year so it can plant more flowers and pay for more admin. You think McGill just tells the Quebec gov't to raise taxes because it feels like hiring a few more people? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2011359&forum_id=2#21233808) |
