    See Bill Gates or many companies that provide for instance...day care services or gyms for their workforce...it's something that has proven successful...I think you're focusing on welfare checks Marz....not young couples raising kids who work for a living. I'm not saying everyone should give to charity but I volunteer with several local programs for seniors and poor children in my community...I recommend it..good for the soul...something Donald Trump is far removed from

    They do what they have to to attract and retain employees. It's not a social program.

    I have no argument with folks who start businesses and take care of those businesses....that's not my point of rage against Trump

    Sigh! PDX taxing is not restricted by the direct tax prohibited in the Constitution, only the Federal Government.

    Wow! You are a classic case. The sort of guy that I spoke about when teach team building. The man at the top can hardly ever be trusted to the "Feeling" type, unless he/she built the company to begin with.

    By the way, I have read that Trump has daycare at many of his companies. I never worked for or consulted with a company that provided day care for employee children.

    Ken Lay, CEO of Enron, was a big donor to charities.

    His charity scam has been leaked and it disgusts me....his son does run a legit charity but Trump didn't even register his and today has been barred from accepting any charity money in New York...it's not secret anymore

    Oh I think I do know what you are talking about. But I don't think you know of what I am trying to convey.
    You can call the tax what ever the hell you want, give it the most beneficial name you can think up. In the end it will still have the character of a direct tax, and should be judged so by any justice
    applying the filter of original intent.

    That is for the courts to decide. And i think if they put parameters around the "minimum tax" it loses the characterization of a head tax and would stand. But you are right, you or I cannot make that call.

    Probably not but it has a commendable team of contributors...the work they have done in Africa for HIV meds and the Haitian disaster relief were very important George Bush even praised them for it...but that would shine some good light on Hillary and nobody likes her much

    It was more than twenty years ago when I taught the classes. I did drag out the concept though a couple years back when advising a company in Portland.
    A Branch manager was running his area as if it were for the benefit of the employees rather than company. I spoke about the signs, the affects, and the solutions. They made the discovery and
    applied the remedy.
