Given the current debate on taxes and whether the rich should or should not be taxed more, have you considered a news-story on trickle-down or supply-side economics? The Republicans say that taxing the wealthy will hurt the nation's economy by discouraging infestment. Democrats and the new "Occupy Wall Street" movement believe that the rich should be taxed their fair share and that capital gains taxes are low. Is the gap between the rich and poor increasing? How do current U.S. Corporate profits compare with profits in past decades? The Republicans have firmly held to no new taxes on the wealthy so as to help improve the economy. Is this system working to improve our economy? Are there signs that the current favorable tax levels for the wealthy are helping to "trickle -down" ? If not, how have the Republicans been able to continue to successfully sell this theory to the American people? These are just some questions I have and hope you will consider a story. Given current events, I think it would be an appropriate subject. I very much enjoy your news program. I consider it and the other PBS programs as the only accurate, fair and unbiased news programs currently on TV. I feel the same about NPR news programing. Keep up the great work! We desperately need a voice of honestly in this country...and you guys are all we have left! Thanks for the great work you do!

Re the coverage of the Ohio Measure 2 (public sector collective bargainiing): The public employees arguing that the current law will lead to LESS staffing seemed to ignore the fact that if wages could be lowered FEWER people would be laid off. Why not call them on this?

OK, my bias is I'm a former union member, now retired. I readily admit unions aren't perfect and could do better. However, it infuriates me when I hear about the legislation restricting union rights, and laments by private and public officials. What has never been mentioned in any of your stories or persons interviewed is that management signs the contract and thereby agrees to follow it. Management always has the option of not signing, not agreeing to the contract, and negotiating for what it feels it needs to do its job. Instead of admitting their culpability, they blame the unions for their inability to negotiate. Management can legally implement its last best offer and not agree to anything the unions requested. Please give the facts how contracts with unionized employees are negotiated - that management has the option to agree, not agree, and do what it sees fit without union agreement.
