Subsidizing Profits, Weakening Social Security: The Employer Payroll Tax Cut

Dean Baker, Truthout: 'These days, it appears as though the main goal of government policy is to give as much money as possible to corporations and the wealthy. This is an area where there has been considerable success, with the profit share of GDP at near record highs and the richest 1 percent holding a larger portion of the nation s wealth than at any point since the late '20s. The proposals for an employer-side payroll tax cut should be seen in this light.'

What We Don t Talk About When We Talk About Jobs

Andy Kroll, TomDispatch: 'The unemployment lines run through history like a pair of train tracks. Since the 1940s, the jobless rate for blacks in America has held remarkably, if grimly, steady at twice the rate for whites. The question of why has vexed and divided economists, historians, and sociologists for nearly as long. For years the sharpest minds in academia pointed to upheaval in the American economy as the culprit. In his 1996 book When Work Disappears, the sociologist William Julius Wilson depicted the forces of globalization, a slumping manufacturing sector, and suburban flight at work in Chicago as the drivers of growing joblessness and poverty in America's inner cities and among its black residents.'

Thoughts on July 4th: Our Incredible Shrinking Constitution

Dave Lindorff, This Can t Be Happening: 'Today is the anniversary of the day that the nation?s founders, gathered in Philadelphia a few miles from my house (which as it happens had already been standing for about 28 years old at the time), at great personal risk, signed the Declaration of Independence, with its ringing declaration that all men-Americans and everyone else, too - are born equal and are endowed with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'

Reflections on the Pledge of Allegiance this Fourth of July

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

07/02/11

In short the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance represent two distinct philosophical concepts which are diametrically opposed. The Declaration of Independence presents a rationale for individual political liberty as against an established authority. The Pledge of Allegiance satisfies a collective political (and presently overtly religious) demand for obligatory individual loyalty and conformance to an established authority, i.e. god and country...

Independence Day hypocrisy

Freedom s Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

07/05/11

All US federal holidays wreak of hypocrisy, representing notions and events other than what they commemorate. Besides Christmas, none perhaps is more celebrated than when America became independent from Britain on July 4, 1776. Coming in the summer, parades, outings, barbecues, other celebratory events, and baseball highlight the day for many - relaxing, not reflecting on the same independence we deny nations globally, waging imperial wars and other ways to prevent it.'

Has the American Revolution s rationale lost its force?

Independent Institute
by Robert Higgs

07/03/11

'To repeat, our ancestors declared that 'when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.' Do the Americans of today deny that they also possess this right and this duty?

The forgotten founding document

The Price of Liberty
by Robert Greenslade

07/04/11

Every July 4th, America celebrates the signing of the document commonly known as the Declaration of Independence. However, there is another document, adopted a year earlier that, in my opinion, helped lay the foundation for the Declaration of Independence. This document, which contains some of the most moving words ever spoken by Founders, needs to be read and celebrated by every American who still values liberty...

Against Corporate Politics: The New War of Independence

Richard (RJ) Eskow, Campaign for America's Future: 'This is the age of corporatized politics. That means we may admire our leaders, but we can t depend on them. We are paying the price for Thomas Jeffersons unfulfilled desire to 'crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.' This July 4th, politics is too important to be left to the politicians. The stakes are too high and the system is too broken. Citizen action is everyones job now, and it will be as long as our political debate focuses on misplaced austerity and ignores the majoritys yearning for jobs, growth, and those things that government does best.'

Das 'Leopard-Geschäft'

'Nach Recherchen der niederländischen Agentur PROFUNDO halten mindestens 14 deutsche Finanzdienstleister Anteile im Wert von 1,74 Mrd. ? an den Herstellern des Kampfanzers Leopard 2. Zudem vergaben deutsche Banken in jüngster Vergangenheit Kredite an diese Unternehmen in Höhe von mindestens 2,75 Mrd. ?. Die von der Organisation FACING FINANCE beauftragte Untersuchung belegt, dass neben vielen großen Privatbanken (Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, Hypovereinsbank, DEKA und DZ Bank) auch Versicherungen (Allianz, Württembergische LV), Landesbanken und auch die KfW zu den Investoren bzw. Kreditgebern der Panzerbauer gehören. 'Keine der untersuchten Banken und Versicherungen hat sich bislang öffentlich von unverantwortlichen Waffenlieferungen distanziert.

Waffen für die Welt, Millionenspenden für die Parteien

Mit Waffenexporten in alle Welt machen deutsche Rüstungskonzerne Milliardengewinne. Einen Teil davon gaben sie in den vergangenen Jahren als Parteispenden an CDU, CSU, FDP und SPD weiter. Nun hat die Bundesregierung offenbar eine umstrittene Panzerlieferung nach Saudi-Arabien durchgewunken ? zwei Großspender dürfen sich freuen.

»Der Kunde ist König«

Einsatz der Bundespolizei in Saudi-Arabien praktisch unter Kommando des Rüstungskonzerns EADS. Vermittlung rechtsstaatlicher Prinzipien aus Ausbildungsprogramm gestrichen. Artikel von Ulla Jelpke in der jungen Welt vom 16.07.2011 http://www.jungewelt.de/2011/07-16/048.php

Aus dem Text: 'Bundesinnenminister Hans-Peter Friedrich (CSU) hält am Einsatz der Bundespolizei in Saudi-Arabien fest: »Ich finde, daß es da keinen Grund gibt, das in irgendeiner Weise zu kritisieren oder in Frage zu stellen«, erklärte er am Donnerstag der Nachrichtenagentur dpa. Auf zahlreiche Medienberichte, nach denen die Bundespolizei bei ihrer Tätigkeit in Saudi-Arabien auf die Vermittlung rechtsstaatlicher Grundsätze verzichte und als Dienstleister des Rüstungskonzerns EADS fungiere, ging Friedrich nicht ein...'


Leoparden für den König

Die Bundesregierung soll den Verkauf von 200 Kampfpanzern nach Saudi-Arabien genehmigt haben.

Rüstungsgeschäft mit Saudi-Arabien: Warum Merkel zum Panzer-Deal schweigt

'Noch nie hat Deutschland an ein Land wie Saudi-Arabien ein Waffensystem geliefert, das zur Niederschlagung von Aufständen benutzt werden kann. Die ökonomische Begründung für den Panzer-Deal ist altbacken und falsch. Und die politische Argumentation ist so fadenscheinig, dass sich Merkel nicht einmal traut, sie im Bundestag zu vertreten?'

Debatte um Rüstungsgeschäft mit Saudi-Arabien Der falsche Panzer, das falsche Land

'Problematisch am Rüstungsdeal mit Saudi-Arabien sind zwei Dinge: der Zeitpunkt des Verkaufs und die Ausstattung des 'Leopard'-Panzers. Überall in der arabischen Welt begehrt die unterdrückte Bevölkerung auf. Es wird immer wahrscheinlicher, dass die deutschen Kampfpanzer in Saudi-Arabien tatsächlich zum Einsatz kommen - gegen das eigene Volk oder gegen Nachbarstaaten. Fast könnte man meinen, die Regierung ergreift Partei für die arabischen Diktatoren?? Ein Gastbeitrag von Guido Steinberg in der Süddeutschen Zeitung vom 10.07.2011.

Arabischer Frühling der Rüstungsindustrie? Bundessicherheitsrat genehmigt umfangreiche Waffengeschäfte mit Algerien

'Vielleicht in der Hoffnung, dass die Entscheidung im Sommerloch nur begrenzte Öffentlichkeit findet, stimmte der Bundessicherheitsrat Anfang Juli 2011 einem umfangreichen Rüstungsexportpaket mit Saudi-Arabien und Algerien zu. Das Ausmaß der Empörung über die deutschen Panzerlieferungen an Saudi-Arabien hat die Schwarz-Gelbe Regierung offensichtlich überrascht. Nach Medienberichten, wie etwa dem für gewöhnlich gut informierten Rüstungsnewsletter 'Griephan Briefe' (28/2011), waren die Panzer für Saudi-Arabien allerdings nur die Spitze des Eisbergs. Algerien, das gerade erst seine Demokratiebewegung blutig niedergeschlagen hat, soll im Zeitraum von zehn Jahren modernste Rüstungs- und Sicherheitstechnologie aus Deutschland erhalten. Der Gesamtwert dieser Geschäfte soll 10 Mrd. Euro betragen. Die einzelnen Geschäfte waren teils bereits seit Monaten vorbereitet worden und erhielten nun vom Bundessicherheitsrat grünes Licht?'

Executives' Pay at Big Companies Rose 23 Percent Last Year

Pradnya Joshi, The New York Times News Service: 'Brace yourself. The final figures show that the median pay for top executives at 200 big companies last year was $10.8 million. That works out to a 23 percent gain from 2009. The earlier study had put the median pay at a none-too-shabby $9.6 million, up 12 percent. Total C.E.O. pay hasn t quite returned to its heady, prerecession levels - but it certainly seems headed there. Despite the soft economy, weak home prices and persistently high unemployment, some top executives are already making more than they were before the economy soured.'

Drehtürwechsel müssen gesetzlich unterbunden werden

2. Juli 2011

Die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Katja Kipping, fordert nach der Bestätigung der Wechselabsichten von Ex-Bundesbankchef Axel Weber an die Spitze der Schweizer Großbank UBS eine Gesetzesinitiative gegen 'Drehtürwechsel aus öffentlichen Ämtern in die Führungsetagen der Wirtschaft'. Kipping erklärt:

Kaum hat Axel Weber sein Amt als Bundesbankchef niedergelegt, schon verkündet er öffentlich seine Pläne für den Umbau einer Privatbank. Er tanzt der Politik und der Öffentlichkeit auf der Nase herum. Dieser Drehtürwechsel hat mehr als ein Geschmäckle. Das Insiderwissen des Ex-Notenbankchefs gehört nicht an die Spitze einer Privatbank. Webers Wechsel ist ein Warnschuss für die Politik. Wir brauchen endlich eine gesetzliche Lösung, die derartige Drehtürwechsel aus öffentlichen Ämtern in die Führungsetagen der Wirtschaft für die Zukunft verhindert. Ich fordere von der Bundesregierung, dass sie die Hintergründe für Webers Wechsel eingehend untersucht. Sonst muss es ein parlamentarisches Nachspiel geben.

Schwarz-Gelb stimmt für Hartz IV Sanktionen: Ungerührt weitersanktionieren und Grundrechte verletzen

In der Sitzung des Ausschusses für Arbeit und Soziales am 29. Juni 2011 stimmten die Fraktionen der CDU/CSU, FDP und SPD gegen den Antrag der Fraktion DIE LINKE, der die Abschaffung aller Sanktionen und Leistungseinschränkungen im SGB II (Hartz IV) und im SGB XII (Sozialhilfen) fordert.

Hartz IV: Es gibt kein Bildungspaket!

Am 28.

Dazu hatte das ZDF Herrn Thomas Oppermann, parlamentarischer Geschäftsführer der SPD-Bundestagsfraktion, eingeladen. Sofort am Beginn der Sendung wurde von der Moderatorin einleitend und pauschal unterstellt, dass Hartz IV-Eltern, die keinen Antrag auf Leistungen für Bildung und Teilhabe stellen, sich auch nicht um die Bildung ihrer Kinder kümmern.

Kipp-Elemente im Klimasystem: Forscher verfeinern ihre Einschätzung

Der Eisschild der West-Antarktis ist ein mögliches Kipp-Element im Klimasystem, das teils bereits gekippt sein könnte. Wissenschaftler können nicht ausschließen, dass die Eismassen nahe der antarktischen Amundsen See bereits instabil zu werden beginnen. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Kippens dieser Elemente steigt im Allgemeinen mit dem Anstieg der globalen Mitteltemperatur, als Folge des von Menschen verursachten Ausstoßes von Treibhausgasen.

The Super Rich Sabotage the Arab Revolutions

Shamus Cooke, Truthout: 'With revolutions sweeping the Arab world and bubbling up across Europe, aging tyrants or discredited governments are doing their best to cling to power. It s hard to overexaggerate the importance of these events: the global political and economic status quo is in deep crisis. If pro-democracy or anti-austerity movements emerge victorious, they ll have an immediate problem to solve - how to pay for their vision of a better world.'

From Fukushima to Disarmament

Malcolm Fraser, Project Syndicate: 'Months after the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, the ongoing nuclear disaster at Fukushima compounds the humanitarian tragedy and impedes recovery. The damaged reactors and spent-fuel ponds contain around ten times as much nuclear fuel as did the Chernobyl reactor that exploded in 1986. In three reactors, the fuel has melted, almost certainly through the reactor vessels; primary containment structures have been breached; explosions have torn away the secondary containment (the buildings); radioactive releases continue; and closed-loop cooling has not been re-established.'

Obamas war on whistleblowers

CounterPunch
by Linda Green

06/30/11

President Barack Obama, who as an Illinois senator was instrumental in passing legislation to protect government whistleblowers, has effectively criminalized public servants who risk their jobs to speak out and expose waste, corruption and unethical behavior among their colleagues.'

Reverend Obama, when he was running for the office he now decorates, preached the need for transparency and honesty in government. In particular, he derided 'the cynics, the lobbyists, the special interests' who held sway in the District of Columbia. He promised to stop the practice of rewarding donors with political favors. Well, scratch another promise...

Labor Wars: Michigan Is the New Wisconsin

Akiba Solomon, Colorlines.com: 'Michigan is shaping up to be the next big battleground in the Republican-led war on unions and public workers' rights. In March, the state s Republican governor Rick Snyder signed Emergency Financial Manager Law Public Act 4, a law that grants state-appointed officials broad power to run cash-strapped communities and school districts. While the state has had Emergency Financial Managers (EFM's) for decades, critics - including Jesse Jackson, Rep. John Conyers and members of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus - say PA-4 has enhanced their authority in unprecedented ways.'

The Corrupt Corporate Incarceration Complex

William Fisher, Truthout: 'In Scranton, Pennsylvania, two judges pleaded guilty to operating a kickback scheme involving juvenile offenders. The judges, Mark Ciavarella Jr. and Michael Conahan, took more than $2.6 million in kickbacks from a private prison company to send teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers. Since 2003, Ciaverella had sentenced an estimated 5,000 juveniles. Conahan was accused of setting up the contracts. Many of the youngsters shipped off to the detention centers were first-time offenders.'

The shocking ways the corporate prison industry games the system

AlterNet
by Rania Khalek

11/29/11

Just a decade ago, private prisons were a dying industry awash in corruption and mired in lawsuits, particularly Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the nation s largest private prison operator. Today, these companies are booming once again, yet the lawsuits and scandals continue to pile up. Meanwhile, more and more evidence shows that compared to publicly run prisons, private jails are filthier, more violent, less accountable, and contrary to what privatization advocates peddle as truth, do not save money...

Cost Of Wars In Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan To Reach $3.7 Trillion

Report (VIDEO): Even just paying the interest on the United States' war debt will be a large endeavor, according to the report, at a time when the country is set to exceed its current debt limit of $14.29 trillion. The government has already paid about $185 billion in interest on war spending, and could accrue another $1 trillion - an amount not included in the $3.7 trillion estimate - in interest by 2020, according to the report.

Die Mythen, die Wirklichkeit: Große Mehrheit für Atomausstieg
