I support transitioning from the progressive tax to a flat tax system - both individual and corporate/business.

First, define your credo- the belief system of the organization. Secondly, define your real ambition, or where do you want to go as a collective community.
Kevin Allen
Image
C is declining somewhat in usage compared to C++, and maybe Java, but perhaps even more compared to higher-level scripting languages. It's still fairly strong for the basic system-type things.
Dennis Ritchie
Image
In order to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear country you have to introduce a system of verification and inspection.
Shimon Peres

It's just that I landed up in a terrific capitalist system. One that pays people who allocate capital extraordinarily well. Intrinsically, I'm not worth as much as somebody who invents something that could improves people's life, or health or whatever.
Warren Buffett

The educational system is pretty much geared to passing the next exam. You're educated to pass tests and not to understand.
Noam Chomsky
Image
By defining the problem as 'hunger', the emergency food system is helping to direct our attention away from the more fundamental problem of poverty, and the even more basic problem of inequality.
Janet Poppendieck
Image
It's more along the lines of raising a child: we train the system to a certain range of behaviors that we find most useful. But then we let it go, because we don't want to have to be babysitting it the whole time.
Kevin Kelly

Christianity is the only system of faith which combines religious beliefs with corresponding principles of morality. It builds ethics on religion.
Austin Phelps

The point is that if a book that had been published three years ago started to sell twice as many all of a sudden it probably wouldn't even get no­ticed. People wouldn't be tracking it. The system has cleaned up its act an awful lot but the best-seller list system is not an entirely foolproof thing.
Terry Pratchett

how can a democratic discourse exist in a corporate owned informational system? Who, for example, possesses freedom of speech in such a society?
Herbert Schiller
Image
The story of man is the history, first, of the acceptance and imposition of restraints necessary to permit communal life and second, of the emancipation of the individual within that system of necessary restraints.
Abe Fortas

Education must be taken out of the hands of rich illiterates, third rate politicians, and put where it belongs: in the care of scholars. At present the whole University system is rotten to the core, and an appalling waste of time, energy and money.
Katherine Anne Porter

America's nurses are the beating heart of our medical system.
Barack Obama

Mesarovic and Pestel are critical of the Forrester-Meadows world view, which is that of a homogeneous system with a fully predetermined evolution in time once the initial conditions are specified.
Donella Meadows
Image
Basically, my problem was attributed to stress more than anything. I don't know what that does and I guess doctors can tell you that there's chemicals that build up in your system when you go through a lot of stress and constant stress.
Mike Ditka
Image
A tyrant institutionalises stupidity, but he is the first servant of his own system and the first to be installed within it.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
No matter what authority Satan and his subjects have temporarily been allowed in this world system, Christ can pull rank anytime He wants to.
Beth Moore
Image
Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects: at the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts.
Ken Robinson
Image
Peace is something more than the absence of war, although some nations would be thankful for that alone today. A durable and equitable peace system requires equal development opportunities for all nations.
Willy Brandt
Image
For reasons that are both fair and foul - but mostly for fair reasons - we have come under the domain of a scientific-management system whose ambitions are endless. They want to manage every second of our lives, every expenditure that we make. And the schools are the training ground to create a population that's easy to manage.
John Taylor Gatto

I owe everything to a system that made me learn by heart till I wept. As a result I have thousands of lines of poetry by heart. I owe everything to this.
George Steiner
Image
One out of 100 citizens of the U.S. is going to prison, and it's not that the system is making criminals, it's that it's making criminals better criminals. We're breeding them like rats and it has to change.
Val Kilmer
Image
To be free it is not enough to beat the system, one must beat the system every day
