Increasing minimum wage still does not benefit workers, if he/she still working part time.
Another is that we will re-enegotiate with the feds the payroll tax known as employment or unemployment insurance so that business and labour are not burdened with the excessive insurance [ taxation].
Last time I checked there was $45billion in the fund.....mostly paper numbers as the government squanders our insurance on the many boondoggles we see over…

B.C. Refed candidate Dallas Hills answers our questions
Alberni Valley Times
Weighing in on the issues
1. How would you propose that the unfair balance of the responsibilities that municipalities have between infrastructure they maintain and the portion of taxes they receive be addressed? Would you support more of the gas tax going to cities and towns?
Our party represents one major concern. We need to take back our federal income tax money, that's…

One day, in the not-too-distant future, if there is any justice whatsoever, Charles Rangel (D-NY) will be outfitted in an orange jump suit and perp-walked into Leavenworth. Then, his stamp-size photo will become standard issue in dictionaries defining the term "con artist." All with ample reason.
The latest Rangel con, revealed in a story that just broke…

The American government -- which we once called our government -- has been taken over by Wall Street, the mega-corporations and the super-rich. They are the ones who decide our fate. It is this group of…

Why all the talk about this inner reality? Even in a story (or someplace) in AA's Big Book it say's, ultimately the answer to our quest, on the spiritual journey, will be found "in us". What's this thing that's in us? Why do the Yogi's and Guru's tell us to seek the truth by turning our focus inward? When I was in school I never heard anything about this. I heard, "If you don't do as the other kids do, there's something wrong with you and you'll continue to get into trouble". If there's…

Globalization and unfettered capitalism have been swept into the history books along with the open-market theory of the 1920s, the experiments of fascism, communism and the New Deal. It is time for a new economic and political paradigm. It is time for a new language to address our reality. The voices of change, those who speak in powerful and yet unfamiliar words, will cry out Sept. 25 and 26 in Pittsburgh when protesters from around the country gather to defy the…

Doctors and psychologists the CIA employed to monitor its "enhanced interrogation" of terror suspects came close to, and may even have committed, unlawful human experimentation, a medical ethics watchdog has alleged.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), a not-for-profit group that has investigated the role of medical personnel in alleged incidents of torture at Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other US detention sites, accuses doctors of being far more involved than hitherto…

Another poll released today by CNN and Opinion Research Corporation (PDF) showed opposition to the war in Afghanistan continues to rise among Americans. Last month’s release of the same poll pointed to 54% of Americans against the war, and the number has now risen to 57%.
In spite of the opposition to the war, a majority of Americans (59%) believe that the war is still winnable, though apparently many feel the cost of the hypothetical…

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has sent a memo to some health care providers noting procedures to be followed if the swine flu outbreak eventually makes quarantines necessary.
DHS Assistant Secretary Bridger McGaw circulated the swine flu memo, which was obtained by CBSNews.com, on Monday night. It says: "The Department of Justice has…

Most of the time we hear questions like, “Who am I?”, “What am I doing here?”, “What is the purpose of all this…?” and so on. When thinking about these more common questions it’s helpful to also think about the latter – Where am I? This will lead us in the direction of another good question – What am I?
We ask these questions and we are led to certain concepts. They aren’t answers yet. Think of concepts as the scientist (real scientists) thinks of a hypothesis. Science starts with…

Here is another project that takes us a little closer to altering the earth forever. All those who agree with this redesigning of nature, should probably be charged with crimes against humanity (and nature). These improvements always sound so useful until they are completely implemented and we see the awful down side. Anything for the almighty dollar. If this is approved and the world is subjected to the new and improved trees, we may not know nature in it's true form in time to come. Of…

Tolerating Tyranny
By Larkin Rose
Last weekend I was hiding out in New Hampshire at a pro-freedom "rally." (I was merely a spectator at this one.) At the rally there was, as usual, a long list of complaints about all the nasty things being done by the people who call themselves "government." And there was much zeal and enthusiasm about…

Last Words
by: H. L. Mencken (1926)
I have alluded somewhat vaguely to the merits of democracy. One of them is quite obvious: it is, perhaps, the most charming form of government ever devised by man. The reason is not far to seek. It is based upon propositions that are palpably not true and what is not true, as everyone knows, is always immensely more fascinating and satisfying to the vast majority of men than what is true. Truth has a harshness that alarms them, and an air…

Obama’s Pay Czar Is A “Paid” Man
August 29th, 2009
In early June President Barack Obama appointed Kenneth Fienberg to act as the pay czar for the Treasury Department and essentially policing Wall Street Compensation. Fienberg is probably most known for overseeing the government’s compensation funds for victims of September 11th. However, many American may not be aware that Feinberg is no stranger to receiving huge executive payouts.
Feinberg, who is working as the pay…
