Why the US Should Raise Taxes: German Example Shows Way Out of Debt Crisis - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

If the US managed to increase their public revenues to the level of Germany, we would have a surplus.

Recalls run awry: A Walker Republican's legal troubles
‎"Steitz's legal troubles — like those of another Republican recall candidate, Kim Simac, who is challenging state Sen. Jim Holperin, a northern Wisconsin Democrat — provide a reminder that the Republicans are less interested in electing capable legislators than they are in punishing Democrats who have dared to disagree with Gov. Scott Walker's anti-labor, anti-local-democracy agenda."

We Will Not Pay For Your Crisis! Workers Unite!

Thursday, August 25 at 4:30pm at Library Mall up State Street to Capitol steps
On this day Wisconsin State Employees will receive up to a 13% pay cut courtesy of Gov. Walker. This pay cu...t does not just impact state workers, but all Wisconsinites. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that wage reductions implemented by Act 10 will cost the state nearly $1 billion in economic activity. Walker and his cronies demand wage cuts for workers while offering massive handouts to corporations and the super-wealthy. Nationally, we are told by both sides of the political aisle that there must be "shared sacrifice" to solve our current fiscal woes. This translates to working people paying for the crisis caused by bankers and Wall Street. Stand with state workers on August 25th to say “Enough!” We have sacrificed, and it is time that the corporate class pay its fair share. Join the fight for a decent quality of life in Wisconsin. Solidarity March and Rally with State Workers Thursday, August 25th, 2011 4:30PM Library Mall and March to the Capitol 5:00PM Rally at the Capitol www.peoplesrightscampaign.org

Doug Moreland An insightful comment on the article: "The biggest problem is precisely that corporations are NOT treated like persons, since the latter can and are held responsible for their behavior. Corporations want unfettered *license* -- as in "licensiousness" -- not "rights," since "rights" only exist in the context of responsibilities."
