Laptop Battery The federal Superfund hazardous waste program is based on a logic so important -- and so simple -- that it's taught in kindergarten: Whoever makes the mess cleans it up. The Bush administration and Congress are now turning that notion on its head.

Thinkpad They propose to stick taxpayers with the bill for cleaning up problems created by polluting industries, and in the process give corporations yet another significant tax break.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Microsoft Authorized by Congress in 1980 and administered by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Superfund program operates as a trust fund subsidized by taxes imposed on the chemical and petroleum industry. When a major pollution problem threatens public safety and the responsible party can't be found, Superfund is tapped to pay for the cleanup, a process that can take years and millions of dollars to complete.

Katz runs the company with 22 paid employees and 300 volunteers who give technical support to new users and are compensated with free memberships (remember those days at AOL ). He rents space in two AT&T data centers, one in Manhattan, another inSecaucus, N.J., with $700, 000 worth of computer equipment, end servers from Dell Computer and five IBM Unix servers. The $2 million annual payroll is his biggest expense.
Laptop Computer The year before the tax expired, American taxpayers paid just 21 percent of the cost for Superfund cleanups, which means that polluting industries paid the lion's share. By next year, Bush proposes to raise the public's share to more than 50 percent. By 2004, taxpayers will pay the entire cost, and it's unlikely that appropriations from Congress will be large enough to sustain cleanup schedules.

Desktop Computer There are 1,551 sites on the national Superfund list, including an estimated 14 in Georgia. Another 174 sites statewide are awaiting inspection or are still being evaluated by the EPA. As many as 490 new Superfund sites could be added to the EPA's priority list over the next decade, with cleanup costs of at least $14 billion.
Notebooks Such a change in philosophy was probably predictable in a presidential administration so dominated by former officials of the petroleum industry. But it's telling that even conservative, pro-business stalwarts such as Papa Bush and Ronald Reagan supported the "polluter pays" premise behind Superfund when they sat in the White House. Too bad for taxpayers that the current occupant hasn't learned that lesson as well.
