The title of the thread and the inference of the article do not mesh. I'll agree that education is a problem in this country, but low taxes aren't necessarily the cause. Mississippi has one of the lowest income tax laws in the nation, yet we'd been throwing money at education for years and years with no result. Money was spent incorrectly, and the problems within the education system were never addressed or changed. No one took a look at why education in the state wasn't improving despite a great increase in spending (I believe 50% of the yearly budget was earmarked for education). It wasn't how much money was funneled in but how it was spent that mattered.
So, if I reverse engineer this article and alter the part about a suffecient education system that prepares American workers for the jobs Japanese companies offer, then they will build their plants here in America. They will also offer health care benefits to entice the plethora of skilled laborers they need. If that happens, I can start a thread stating that US Health Care System Creates Jobs.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
