Why a Global Wealth Tax Reduces Inequality The distribution of incomes and assets is one of the most controversial themes today. History teaches us that economic forces press in different directions - either to more equality or away from equality. Which will prevail depends on what political decisions we make.

Costs of War against "ISIS" $312,500 PER HOUR The latest CIA creation, "ISIS," another pretext for enriching the war machine, is costing the taxpayers $312,500 per hour. This is not national security; it is profound INSECURITY as we cannot have guns and butter.

They’re telling us we can’t regulate just when we need to regulate and that we can’t invest in the public sphere just when we need to do exactly that."...

ISIS is now only 3km away from Kobane city center 
ISIS sending reinforcements to conquer Kobane, up until now held by revolutionary Kurdish militias. ISIS is 3km from city center. Situation is dire. Apparently US airstrikes have hit all over Syria except around Kobane -- is Washington prodding ISIS on to quash the leftist democratic councils running that region? Will the YPG's egalitarian red star be replaced with religious despotism?...
