EU Proposes Financial Services Tax

Forever, I've supported a move away from slave-based taxation policy (i. e. personal income tax, property tax) and the dynamics that support such taxation (i. e. social security numbers and the like).  Consequently, I have no problem with a tax on financial transactions that do not include the above issues.

As I come nearer law school each semester, perhaps the issue will be resolved before I am even a lawyer.

Proportional Representation: The Overriding Principle to Vote

I plan to vote for candidates who support proportional representation this November, as my university studies indicate that representative democracy is most undermined when votes are circumvented to a winner-take-all system.  When the minority is not represented, then the minority is not represented.

Mr. Romney: China is not the Enemy

Recently, I saw Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for the U. S. presidency, propose that China needed a Cold War response to presumed currency manipulation by their government.  I suggest that the Chinaman is not the enemy of the American and that their government is not the enemy of the U. S. government.  Everyone means well for their families and no harm to other countries.  We must rather look into each issue like a surgeon with a scalpel.

The conflict American's feel with China is that China has been violent against its citizens with the assumption that the individual the property of the state; thus, the individual is treated as the property of those in power, rather then the governing official being the servant of the people.  gkchapman2012athotmail.com/

Out of Hospital

Well. I spent the 22nd of August going through the Emergency Room at a hospital in Lufkin, Texas.  I'm to see my family doctor today to see whether I'll be driving trucks soon.  Vertigo, they call it.  It's like being sea sick on dry land.  I thought I was having a stroke of an aneurism.

After three years back in college and two degrees, I'm getting on the bus to get back in a flatbed truck Saturday.  I need to get my cash up to around $80K before I entertain finishing my first bachelor's degree (24 more hours) or my BS in Economics (50 more hours).

I'll spend the summer with the Innocence Project through a local law school here in the Dallas area, working with law students on the Internet to examine a case for overturning a conviction.  I'll apply what I can to Irwin Schiff's case.

I am hearing opportunities pitched to me to invest in media from around the movement.  I should have up to $20K ready to invest this next year.  My main interest is in script development of a pro-libertarian sitcom with a Leave It to Beaver flavor of moral libertarian teaching.

Most respectfully,

Corporate Marxism

A few months ago, I was sitting outside one of my classes at university with my professor and a few other students, waiting for the previous class to end and clear out, when I asked if "Corporate Marxism" is a known term to describe what we are experiencing in America today?  She had been degreed in the study of pure Marxism and related that she had not heard the term used before.  As I try to find terms to accurately describe our issues, I guess I'll coin the term here.  The corporation has married the collectivist state and is enslaving you and me to that unholy union.  It's nature is Marxist because there is a badge and a gun tied to it:  force/ violence;  and it contains all the elements of The Communist Manifesto.

Musings of A Central Bank Strike for Pay Raise

The U. S. Inflation Calculator on the Internet indicates price inflation of 121.4% since I got out of high school in 1984.  My pay in relative terms has only risen 75% across all occupations I've tried and examined during that time.  Maybe I just need to go on strike at the Central Bank.  Monetary inflation always outpaces price inflation, and price inflation always out paces labor wages.  I'm just sooooooooo sick of this dynamic in Keynsian-Marxist economics.
