If you were to examine where the USA might be on its Utility Possibilities Curve, which, say, shows a trade-off in Utility between the Rich and the Poor sections of society (in terms of what each sector consumes), where do you think we would lie on the curve?  Given your opinion, who do you think placed us where we are on the curve? The

government? Certain people?  Luck?  Are you content with where you have placed us?

Assuming that our markets are reasonably efficient, could you draw an Edgeworth Box that shows where you think the two classes of consumers lie?  

Here is sort of a repeat question from an earlier homework/discussion for emphasis.  Using the usual supply and demand curves (lines) please show how a tax on the consumption of a product X MUST decrease welfare in the market even if all of the tax is given back to the people in the form of a cash payout.
