Some Hope Afterall?

I thought I'd share some good news my 10 year old daughter inadvertently gave me last night when I got home.  She had told me over the weekend that she was going to have a field trip in October, and last night I got some more details.  It turns out she's going to a place called "Ameritowne" in Denver.  It's an educational program designed "to help teach students about business, economics and free enterprise in a fun and hands-on way."  The program culminates with the hands on excercise where the students operate a 17 business community.  One of my chief complaints about education in our country is the woeful lack of economics teaching.  Frankly I think this is the chief reason people don't understand one of the most basic principals of conservative economic theory, that higher taxes stunt economic growth.  I'll be going on this trip (boss permitting) with her and look forward to seeing how this organization is teaching what really amounts to Econ 101.
