Twenty-Six Major Corporations Paid No Corporate Income Tax for the Last Four Years, Despite Making Billions in Profits

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: ''Last year, Citizens for Tax Justice found that 30 major corporations had made billions of dollars in profits while paying no federal income tax between 2008 and 2010. Today, CTJ updated that report to reflect the 2011 tax bill of those 30 companies, and 26 of them have still managed to pay absolutely nothing over that four year period.''

Kontrollgesetz in Alabama: ''Fahndung nach ethnischen Kriterien''

Das Gesetz HB 56 in Alabama erlaubt Identitätskontrollen auf Verdacht. Zahlreiche kirchliche, menschenrechtliche und gewerkschaftliche Gruppen protestieren. Artikel von Dorothea Hahn in der TAZ vom 04.04.2012 http://www.taz.de/Kontrollgesetz-in-Alabama/!90934/

Aus dem Text: ''(?) Der House Bill Number 56, kurz HB 56 genannt, erlaubt der Polizei Identitätskontrollen, wann immer sie den Verdacht hat, dass ein Verstoß gegen Einwanderungsregeln vorliegt. Zudem kriminalisiert das Gesetz jede Dienstleistung für ''Illegale'': vom Transport in Fahrzeugen, über Beschäftigung, Vergabe von Sozialleistungen bis hin zur Vermietung von Wohnraum. (?) Zu den ersten Opfern des neuen Übereifers gegenüber AusländerInnen in Alabama gehörte ein Mercedes-Manager. Als er im November mit seinem Mietwagen kontrolliert wird, hat er nur seinen deutschen Ausweis dabei. Die Polizei nahm ihn sofort fest?''

We are no longer the country of opportunity that we think of ourselves

The Invisible Hand Is Invisible Because It Isn t There

Elena Callahan, New Deal 2.0: ''[Economist Joseph] Stiglitz says that 'most Americans don t realize that we are no longer the country of opportunity that we think of ourselves, that America today has less equality of opportunity than any of the other advanced industrial countries ... if you are going to be judging how well an economy is doing, clearly I think the key metric that one wants to focus on is what is happening to the living standards of most citizens.'''

The ''Suicidal State'' and the War on Youth

Henry A Giroux, Truthout: ''The United States is one of the few countries in the world that puts children in supermax prisons, tries them as adults, incarcerates them for exceptionally long periods of time, defines them as super predators, pepper sprays them for engaging in peaceful protests and in an echo of the discourse of the war on terror describes them as 'teenage time bombs.'''
