"Bush lied about the one percent paying forty percent of all taxes. The rich pay the most in federal income taxes, but that is because they make the most money. Jeb Bush’s plan like all of the other Republican plans that cut taxes for the wealthy ignores basic math. If taxes are cut for the people who make the most money, somebody else has to pay more or the deficit increases."
"I believe that when we get to Paris at the end of this year, we're now in a position for the first time to have all countries recognize their responsibilities to tackle the problem, and to have a meaningful set of targets as well as the financing required to help poor countries adapt," said Obama. "And if we're able to do that by the end of this year—and I'm cautiously optimistic—then we will at least have put together the framework, the architecture to move in concert over the next decade in a serious way."
Freddie Gray. Walter Scott. Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, et al. The roll call continues to grow. But must be halted, dead in its tracks. Because these snuffed-out lives cannot just be written off as "collateral damage" in a law enforcement and judicial system gone amok. Their stories are just the tip of the iceberg. For without systemic change, any indictments of those responsible for the deaths of these young black men across the country and short-sighted solutions like body cameras for police officers are akin to a kid-sized "Band-Aid" applied to a gaping and catastrophic wound.
We have already connected the dots: People - and black men, in particular - are being profiled and targeted not just for incarceration but as "repeat customers" for the Prison- For-Profit industry, originally endorsed by Republican President George W. Bush. This is a present-day reality. And the companies that are part of this new "hospitality industry," which add to the oppression of people caught in their lairs, must be run out of business!
There is an inherently dangerous component to the success of such businesses, as implicit in their very existence and profitability is the fact that "customers" have to be actively sought. How else could such a business model work and such a system thrive, except through arrest quotas for police officers and judges for hire? How can we tolerate an industry that's concerned about a DECLINE in criminals? How can we tolerate a system that enables Wall Street companies to sue our state governments for not having enough prisoners?
