“He should release the tax returns tomorrow. It's crazy. You've got to release six, eight, ten years back tax returns. Take the hit for a day or two. He has to give a big speech in defense of capitalism, and that will elevate, I think, this race above this tactical back and forth, which I do think he's on the margin of losing.” ThinkingGivingShouldYearsTwoBigsRaceCrazyReturnTomorrowRepublicanTenTaxesSpeechSixLosingCapitalismEightDefenseReleaseBack And ForthMarginsTacticalTax Returns Author:William Kristol

“We have to look at for example the increasing globalization of capital, the whole system of transitional capitalism now which has had an impact on black populations - that has for example eradicated large numbers of jobs that black people traditionally have been able to count upon and created communities where the tax base is lost now as a result of corporations moving to the third world in order to discover cheap labor.” PeopleWorldLooksHas BeensWholeAbleJobsMovingOrderLostBlackCommunityResultsNumbersExampleTaxesCapitalismLaborThirdsImpactPopulationCorporationsBlack PeopleGlobalizationThird WorldLarge NumbersCheap Labor Author:Angela Davis

“As a businessman, Donald Trump has been associated with some of the worst excesses of a particular style of value-extracting and asset stripping capitalism: set up businesses, let them fail, avoid paying suppliers, use bankruptcy laws to avoid taxes for decades, then set up another business somewhere else.

“Whenever you get involved with talking about rights, you're talking about being a citizen. You're talking about being a citizen in capitalism; you're talking about what rights are granted to what identities, under what laws, and all that is a big mix. Marriage is, among many other things, a formality to channel capital through a family. And that's why the big DOMA lawsuit was about paying too many taxes! "I wouldn't have had to pay all these taxes if Theodora had been Theo" - that was the big tagline. It's all about protecting assets.” IdentityTaxesCapitalismGrantedGet Involved Author:Maggie Nelson
