THE TAXES WE PAY

On 3 Oct, 2020 By jim 0 Comments

I've been thinking about how we respond to issues of tax fairness. Donald
Trump's tax returns as reported by The New York Times show that he paid no
personal income tax some years, and $750 a couple years. Trump makes the claim
that he pays millions in taxes every year. So, let's break down how both of
these statements might (or might not) be true by looking at taxes we pay.

AN ECONOMIC ANALOGY

On 14 Mar, 2020 By jim 0 Comments

An Analogy:
A community has a bridge that has become old and dangerous. They're only using
one lane to cross both ways. They hire contractor O to rebuild the bridge. He
brings in the best engineers and union labor to build a strong 4 lane freeway
bridge, including shoulders for emergency access and engineered strong enough to
withstand a major earthquake, knowing that someday an earthquake will hit.



JUSTICE HUGO BLACK ON CORPORATE PERSONHOOD

On 21 Dec, 2016 By jim 0 Comments

Re-posting this from my webpage of several years ago:

JUSTICE HUGO BLACK ON CORPORATE PERSONHOOD
Posted Fri, 04/23/2010 - 13:28 by jim
I found Justice Hugo Black's dissenting opinion in this 1938 case to be an
extremely clear and convincing argument that corporate personhood was NOT
intended to be created by the 14th Amendment. Below is an extensive excerpt from
Black's dissenting opinion. If you don't have time to read it, just scan down
and read the sections I put in bold.

> CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INS. CO. v. JOHNSON, 303 U.S. 77 (1938)
> 
> Decided Jan. 31, 1938.
> 
> Mr. Justice BLACK (dissenting). [emphasis added]
> 
> "I do not believe the word 'person' in the Fourteenth Amendment includes
> corporations. 'The doctrine of stare decisis, however appropriate and even
> necessary at times, has only a limited application in the field of
> constitutional law.' This Court has many times changed its interpretations of
> the Constitution when the conclusion was reached that an improper construction
> had been adopted. Only recently the case of West Coast Hotel Company v.
> Parrish, 300 U.S. 379 , 57 S.Ct. 578, 108 A.L.R. 1330, expressly overruled a
> previous interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment which had long blocked
> state minimum wage legislation. When a statute is declared by this Court to be
> unconstitutional, the decision until reversed stands as a barrier against the
> adoption of similar legislation. A constitutional interpretation that is wrong
> should not stand. I believe this Court should now overrule previous decisions
> which interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment to include corporations.
> 
> Neither the history nor the language of the Fourteenth Amendment justifies the
> belief that corporations are included within its protection. The historical
> purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment was clearly set forth when first
> considered by this Court in the Slaughter House Cases, 16 Wall. 36, decided
> April, 1873-less than five years after the proclamation of its adoption

HOW UN-AMERICAN CAN YOU BE AND STILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT?

On 14 Dec, 2015 By jim 0 Comments

In an AP article interviewing Trump supporters one supporter "said she doesn't
have a problem applying a religious test to visitors, immigrants and refugees."

Article VI of the United States Constitution states, in part: "...no religious
Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust
under the United States."

BEWARE OF FAKE PACS!

On 5 Dec, 2014 By jim 0 Comments

I came across an organization purporting to be raising money to help a
particular candidate, but which I find highly suspect.
I will give you the information, and let you decide.
The organization is called "Voters for Hillary" and has a website. The website
is very easy to find, but I will not include the address here as I do not want
to inadvertently increase it's ranking in search engines by linking to it. The
website contains some basic information about Hillary Clinton, with updates from
news reports, twitter updates, and an empty blog feed.



RACHEL MADDOW ON THE OREGON REPUBLICAN PARTY

And so many Republicans wonder why no Republican has won state wide election
since 2002!
