Stripes on the storage barrels, dioxin was an unwanted impurity in the production process. the u.s. military used the defoliant to clear away thick jungle and the vietcong forces. agent orange had another effect. in the decade that followed, soldiers exposed to agent orange were more likely to develop a range of cancers and possibly parkinsons disease, hypertension and heart disease. that brings us back to mossville. toxicologist richard lipskey said the levels found in mossville residents are d...

Value-added tax, its a tax added to a product at each step in the production process. every company handling the product pays the v.a.t., value-added tax, and those costs are passed on to you, the consumer. im just a little skeptical, mr. burrman, wouldnt this pick on lower income people? >> there is a problem. the value added tax tends to be regressive. there are ways to deal with that. one way is to provide an income tax credit to offset regressivety at the bottom. its basically the same thing...
