Occupy the Police State

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'Important questions have been raised about what role, if any, the federal government has played in dismantling the Occupy encampments around the country and what the protesters and civil liberties groups say is ultimately an attempt to stifle dissent ... 'It is eerily disturbing how history is once again repeating itself. Law enforcement is beginning to look increasingly like a civilian branch of the military and local government officials trample upon the rights of citizens and doing so in ways that are becoming more violent.'

The Future of the Occupy Movement

Jules Lobel, Jurist: 'The Occupy Movement, which has already been hugely successful in thrusting issues of inequality and corporate power into the public discourse, faces a critical juncture.... Hopefully OWS can ... combine its democratic, egalitarian origins with audacious, ongoing direct action, an overall narrative that continues to express values of solidarity, equality and democracy, and political independence and survive as a model of how a just society would operate. If OWS can do so ... it will have made a major contribution, not simply to transforming the public dialogue, but to birthing a new society.'

Unemployment Slamming Public Employees

Dick Meister, Dick Meister's Blog: 'The layoffs mean 'a lower quality of life ... fewer teachers, pothole repair crews and nurses.' It s been happening all over the country, of course. As elsewhere, the layoffs of course reduce vital public services, but it s important to note that they also of course have a serious impact on those who lose their jobs. The impact has been especially harsh on African-American workers.

Tax rates, inequality and the 1%

Cato Institute
by Alan Reynolds

12/06/11

The larger truth is that recessions always destroy wealth and small business incomes at the top. Perhaps those who obsess over income shares should welcome stock market crashes and deep recessions because such calamities invariably reduce 'inequality.' Of course, the same recessions also increase poverty and unemployment...
