If you have to pay taxes for existing, you should be guaranteed a basic minimum income for surviving.
It wouldn’t amount to much, but guaranteeing every American citizen 18 and older $1,000 per month, or $12,000 a year, is the most reasonable, practical, and commonsense way to address the inequality crisis that everyone in the country and most of the world is talking about right now.
"Surely you must see. Surely you must understand. Don't you know rockets are falling all over Gaza and Israel? Do you not read that more than 100 people have died already in brutal and insidious fighting that's been going on since God was knee-high to a bogus misconception?
Jesus Christ, quit whining about Twinkies already."
Ha! And right after I posted my last article I noticed this follow up that shows the aftermath of that Op-Ed.
Frankly, I'm beside myself with happiness. Goldman Sachs can go to hell.
Seven former Goldman Sachs partners and managing directors, positions that are more senior than vice president, said in interviews that Smith shouldn't be taken seriously because he was a junior employee and may have been disgruntled about his pay or career. All asked not to be identified because they didn't want to risk ruining their relationship with the firm.
Still, six of the seven said they agreed with Smith's criticism of how the firm has treated clients under Blankfein and Cohn's management and that current members of the management committee would, too. Even so, they said they don't expect the board of directors to take action or that anything will change because the firm has made money and outperformed most rivals.
Number 2 on their list really bothered me. Dow Chemicals hired Stratfor to spy on protesters of the Bhopal gas leak.
This is a classic example of a corporation taking incredible advantage of a community of people who have no standing or ability to do anything about it. I won't be buying anything made by Dow AgroSciences, LLC., Union Carbide Corporation, Rohm and Haas, ANGUS Chemical Company, or Dow Roofing Systems.
