Two kids in Japan committed suicide over the weekend because they were being bullied in school. The boy was 14 and the girl was 12. As of August this makes a total of 5 suicides of related nature.
The girl jumped from the eighth floor because she was being bullied about her height. The hung himself after his classmates tried to take money from him. Additionally a head teacher has been found hanged in a forest after he was criticised over his response to an extortion incident involving a pupil at his school.
Last week several school children wrote to the education minister threatening to kill themselves.
In the ongoing debate about growing income inequality in America — the top 10 percent of families grabbed 43 percent of income in 2004 vs. 33 percent in 1980 — some have argued that America needs a more progressive tax system, both to share the wealth and to help deal with the government's long-term budget woes. When the Bush tax cuts on income and investments end in 2010, plenty of liberals and budget hawks will surely argue that they should not be extended. (This is going to be a huge issue in the 2008 presidential campaign.)
But those who want a flatter, less-progressive system argue that wealth, to a great extent, reflects productivity, and so more productive people should face lower tax rates as an incentive to produce even more. A more productive economy will grow faster, and that's the best way to deal with fiscal problems.
Consider this: What if it's luck rather than ability that plays the greatest role inof people's success? Some studies have shown that inequality among family members, people who share genetic traits, is not much different from that of the general population. Why should we subsidize the lucky with lower taxes?
But a recent study from Harvard University's Graduate Business School found that skill is indeed an important factor in success. The study looked at entrepreneuers, a third of whom are in the top 1 percent of American earners.

I was thinking about opening up a hula studio and teaching hawaiian dance. I am planning on opening the school in an expensive area. It is up on a hill where rich people live. They have their own little community of yuppy people that dont like to come down the hill to socialize.
I think I just came up with a name for my school... "Aloha O Panaewa Dance Studio"
How does that sound?
I want to use that name because it is a part of my daughters hawaiian name.
