Numbers that Speak Volumes:

For decades I’ve written and spoke on the effects of globalization and the damage done by the corporate-governance brand of economic policy. I’ve argued relentlessly in opposition to the now standardized argument which asserts that the deplorable state of domestic economics is directly due to the ill-gotten gains of the so-called One Percent. In fact the gains of the 1 percent are not at all the cause but the consequence of a global economic design.

Executive Action, Constitution & Slavery

As the war of threats continues to be waged over Mr. Obama’s threat to ratify residency for millions of illegal aliens I think it appropriate that a few (relevant) points be tethered to your considerations:

(1) The President has no such capacity to act unilaterally as to existing law or legislation; he must “faithfully” enforce the law, period.

(2) He cannot, by executive fiat, express or act by writ, any authority not expressed within the Constitution that either commands or self-assigns supplemental authority to the Executive Branch.

The Bias of Transparency:

MIT Econ Professor, J. Grubber, though weeping with academic ooze is merely an orderly in the legions of so-called architects that romp around the shadows of government. Not only are they paid to orchestrate legislation, they are tools of vested interests who prey on the ignorance of elected officials.

Has the World Stopped Listening for the US?

I’m certainly no champion of US Policy that circumnavigates the world by way of a dominant military presence or by the strength of our politicized security apparatus that acts simply as a predatory merchant of information and strategic monetary grubbing. Rather, I believe that the US is necessary in a far greater role and that is as a champion, a perfecting force, of our national ideals.

The Problem with Corporate Tax Reform

The ideology of governance has it dead wrong and regardless of the history that proves the error it appears that in an effort to restore a modicum of civic-centered action the GOP is at risk for legislating ignorance, again.

Here are the most critical reasons why the idea fails so proficiently:

(1) Using taxpayer dollars to incentivize an economic activity has never worked (“cash for clunkers”); funding corporate economic activity was once the function of banking and the stock market.

(2) Corporations do not create economic activity; they respond to demand backed by liquidity (capable of payment or trade of some kind).
