Our GDP without the parasite class lawyers--sigh--we'd all be so much better off!! And lawyers multiply without mercy, like maggots teaming on bad meat. This tax, the lawyer tax, is probably far greater than our income tax as a burden on productivity. Most of our competitors abroad do not have this tax--and this is also driving our jobs offshore. Oh,well, send your kid to law school. There's a future in parasitism and scavenging.
