WE are often tempted to look to other cities around the world for ideas about how to finance and govern our own cities. Each city is unique, however, in terms of its history and culture, its constitution, and the intergovernmental context in which it operates. London, England, for example, is part of a unitary state (a central government and local governments but no provincial governments) and receives more than 80 per cent of its funding from central government grants. Although it levies a residential property tax (the council tax), London has very little local fiscal autonomy. New York City, on the other hand, is part of a federal system (comprising federal, state, and local governments) and receives a much larger part of its revenues from local taxation than does London.

It's bad for Jews because it makes us look ridiculously self-centred -- 9/11 was all about us! It's bad for all because it dilutes an event whose full impact should be remembered forever. Kristallnacht, the night during which brownshirts all over Germany smashed the windows of Jewish businesses, beat Jews in the streets and committed other outrages, put an entire people out of business. It was sponsored by their own government and was the signal first blow in their imminent decimation. 9/11 was a pinprick by comparison.
If we're going to play the Nazi card, 9/11 should properly equate with the Reichstag fire, the false flag event by which Adolf Hitler grabbed the dictatorial powers that led directly to the Holocaust and all the other atrocities of his regime. By their fruits shall ye kn...
