Дело Эмберов — финансовая афера или «колоссальнейшее мошенничество XIX века», как его назвал Вальдек Руссо. Тереза Дориньяк, происходившая из простой семьи, выманивала деньги у кредиторов и много лет вела шикарный образ жизни, беря деньги в банках под небольшие проценты. Она уверяла, что является наследницей состояния американского миллионера, но судебные тяжбы и другие наследники мешали ей начать распоряжаться её законным состоянием. Тереза и её муж владели роскошным особняком, в котором часто принимали элиту того времени. В действительности никакого наследства, как и миллионера, никогда не существовало, и когда это стало известно, супруги бежали из Франции, но впоследствии предстали перед французским судом.

История

Фредерик Эмбер (Humbert), сын профессора права и политического деятеля Густава Эмбера (1822—1894), с 1875 года бывшего несменяемым сенатором, а с 1882 года — министром юстиции во втором кабинете Фрейсине, сам в 1885—1889 годах был депутатом, причём был выбран как член республиканской левой, но под конец склонялся к буланжизму. В 1878 году он женился на Терезе Дориньяк, дочери богатого крестьянина (род. в 1854 году), с 1877 года считавшейся наследницей громадного состояния в 100 млн франков. Она утверждала, что эти сто миллионов франков завещал ей американский богач Крауфорд, за то, что она ухаживала за ним во время его болезни. Но объявились два племянника Крауфорда, которые предъявили другое завещание, в силу которого его состояние должно быть разделено на три равных части между ними и сестрой Терезы, тогда несовершеннолетней Марией Дориньяк, Терезе же была отказана только пожизненная рента в 360 тысяч франков.

Начался длинный процесс между соискателями наследства. Крауфорды выражали готовность отказаться от своей доли в наследстве, если Мария Дориньяк по достижении совершеннолетия согласится выйти замуж за влюблённого в неё Генри Крауфорда. Несколько раз составлялись различные полюбовные сделки между сторонами. В силу одной из них наследство Крауфорда, состоявшее, за исключением замка Маркотт в Испании, в процентных бумагах и спрятанное в несгораемом железном шкафу, было отдано на хранение Эмберам, с тем, чтобы Тереза Эмбер могла отрезывать купоны на сумму 360 тысяч франков ежегодно, но остальная сумма была бы неприкосновенна до окончательного приговора суда или до нового соглашения сторон.

Дело переносилось из одной судебной инстанции в другую, причём суд не мог прийти к окончательному решению вследствие того, что изменялись как матримониальные, так и экономические отношения между сторонами, в силу различных их соглашений. Крауфорды путешествовали большей частью по Америке, и адрес их не был известен даже их адвокатам. Это сильно замедляло ведение процесса, увеличивая судебные сроки. Под гарантию будущего наследства Эмберы производили громадные займы, в течение 20 лет достигшие суммы 50 млн, а вместе с громадными процентами и комиссионными (иногда до 150%) — 120 млн франков. Они купили отель в Париже, имение с замком по близости от Парижа и вели очень широкую жизнь. На их балах и обедах бывали известнейшие политические деятели всех партий до Феликса Фора, включительно. Леопольд Флуранс, националистический депутат, был близким другом их семьи, женихом Марии Дориньяк, отвергшей руку Генри Крауфорда, и постоянно получал от них деньги то на политическую агитацию, то лично для себя в займы (без отдачи).

В своём особняке супруги принимали даже президента Французской Республики Феликса Фора.

В 1897 году, во время процесса между Эмберами и одним из их кредиторов, ведший этот процесс (против Эмберов) Вальдек Руссо намекнул на то, что и капиталы Крауфорда, и его завещание, и сам Крауфорд с его племянниками относятся к области мифологии. Но Эмберы держались ещё прочно, благодаря уважаемому в буржуазном мире имени Густава Эмбера, обаянию миллионов, желанию поддержать людей для спасения уже отданных им денег и поразительному искусству в одурачении людей, которым обладала «великая Тереза». За Эмберов сильно говорил и тот факт, что суд в течение двух десятилетий разбирал вопрос о наследстве, ни разу не возбудив вопроса о самом его существовании.

В начале 1902 года газета «Matin» начала систематический поход против Эмберов. В мае 1902 года судом были окончательно признаны права Терезы Эмбер на наследство, но вместе с тем для удовлетворения претензии кредиторов постановлено вскрыть железный шкаф; для этого был назначен определённый день. Вслед затем, по решению следственной власти, принятому по настоянию министерства Вальдека Руссо, было решено подвергнуть личному задержанию Эмберов, по обвинению в мошенничестве. Когда власти явились в квартиру Эмберов, как для вскрытия шкафа, так и для ареста, то Эмберов не оказалось налицо. Шкаф был вскрыт: в нём оказалась только старая газетная бумага. Через несколько месяцев Эмберы были арестованы в Мадриде и выданы Франции.

В августе 1903 года Тереза и Фредерик Эмберы и братья Терезы Эмиль и Роман Дориньяки, разыгрывавшие роль Крауфордов, судились в парижском акцизном суде по обвинению в мошенничестве. На суде Эмберов защищал знаменитый адвокат Лабори, защитник Дрейфуса. Защита была построена на утверждении, что завещание и миллионы действительно существовали или, по крайней мере, что несуществование их не доказано обвинительной властью, а Крауфорд есть псевдоним французского офицера Ренье. Ренье — лицо, несомненно существовавшее, — исполнял в 1870—1871 годах обязанности прусского шпиона и был посредником между Бисмарком и Базеном; в своё время он был заочно приговорён к смерти; дальнейшая судьба его неизвестна. По словам Терезы Эмбер, он получил от пруссаков за свои услуги сотню миллионов и жил с ней под псевдонимом Крауфорда. Его сыновья, фигурировавшие под именем племянников Крауфорда, оказались, по её дальнейшим рассказам, такими же предателями, как и он; незадолго перед постановлением суда об открытии шкафа они хитро выманили у неё деньги и скрылись. Вся эта истории не возбудила ни малейшего доверия ни в публике, ни среди присяжных, тем более, что в рассказе Эмбер была масса противоречий, и что на суде она далеко не обнаружила той изворотливости и искусства, какие проявляла раньше; она плакала, говорила о своей честности и т.д., но не приводила никаких доказательств верности своих рассказов.

Эмберы были приговорены к пятилетнему тюремному заключению, братья Терезы — к двух- и трёхлетнему. К суду не были привлечены ни нотариусы, ни адвокаты, которые вели процессы Эмберов и Крауфордов или удостоверяли различные их сделки, ни финансовые дельцы, помогавшие заключать займы; между тем, в публике существовала полная уверенность в том, что большинство этих лиц хорошо знало положение вещей и действовало далеко не bona fide.

На суде Тереза Эмбер грозила разоблачениями относительно замешанных в её дело политических деятелей, которые будто бы сознательно ей покровительствовали вследствие корыстных расчётов, и утверждала, что её погубили Вальдек Руссо и Валле (министр юстиции в кабинете Комба), по соображениям, ничего общего с правосудием не имеющим. Однако ни одного из своих заявлений она не подтвердила фактами; из видных политических деятелей процессом скомпрометирован, и притом безнадёжно, только Флуранс. Тем не менее, через несколько дней после судебного приговора палата депутатов назначила следственную комиссию для расследования степени виновности в этом деле лиц, которые были знакомы или близки с семьёй Эмберов. До февраля 1904 года эта следственная комиссия не раскрыла ничего важного.

Дело Эмберов, вместе с Панамским скандалом и делом Дрейфуса, является характерным для истории третьей французской республики. Оно ярко иллюстрирует ту замечательную погоню за деньгами, на почве которой могут возникать подобные предприятия, и то поразительное легковерие как широкой публики, так даже лиц из адвокатуры, из магистратуры, из политического мира и из мира финансовых дельцов, которое проявляется, как только дело идёт о наживе. Никому даже из лиц, ссужавших Эмберов значительными суммами, не пришло в голову проверить ни факт существования Крауфорда, который, обладая громадным состоянием, не мог жить и умереть совершенно незаметно, ни факт существования миллионов, ни реальность таинственных племянников Крауфорда, которые, ведя громадный процесс, могли в течение 20 лет оставлять даже своих адвокатов в неизвестности относительно своего местонахождения, ни, наконец, реальность замка Маркотт, который, по словам Терезы Эмбер, в составе прочего наследства был ею получен от Крауфорда. Обаяние миллионов было так велико, что многие лица, присутствовавшие при фантастическом отрезании купонов Терезой Эмбер, по-видимому, добросовестно утверждали, что они видели бумаги на громадные суммы.

Planning Our Trip
Malaysian Borneo
Pampa Linda and the 7 Lakes Drive
March 30, 2019 March 31, 2019 / therollingstonesweb
From El Bolsón we went north, back towards Bariloche and the familiar territory of Nahuel Huapi National Park. This time we had decided to explore Pampa Linda, where we planned to hike and camp in the park. We received a bit of a nasty shock when we arrived at the park and were faced with a £7 each entrance fee. We had known that this part of the park was ticketed, we just hadn't banked on it being quite such a high price. Slightly stunned, we handed the cash over and only realised halfway into the park that we probably didn't have enough cash for a campsite anymore. There wasn't an ATM for 30kms and the campsites were highly unlikely to take card so we had essentially paid £14 for a couple of hours driving in and out. It was frustrating but the damage was done and we pressed on, determined to make the most of it.
Most of the tracks in the park operate on a one-way system, with set hours for driving in each direction. This system worked pretty well but it does concentrate the traffic, we ended up in a queue of cars and spent a good portion of the drive enveloped in dust. By pulling over and letting the traffic by we were able to enjoy the prettiest spots in peace.
As we had less time than planned, we couldn't hike and so satisfied ourselves with driving all the way to Ventisquero Negro, which is a black glacier and therefore pretty interesting theoretically if fairly ugly in reality.
The glacier is black because of the dirt and sediment accumulated during its formation. When the glacier calves, this sediment is washed off and so the floating ice is white. We noted the large number of minibuses parked up at the glacier and made a dash to get back on the road and into the one-way system ahead of them for the drive out. That was the sum total of our experience at Pampa Linda; a rather expensive waste of time. Annoyingly, it was also entirely our own fault.
We still needed to find somewhere to camp. We battled Bariloche's one-way system at rush hour, got some cash and then pushed onwards towards Villa La Angostura. Caro kept eyeing the sinking sun with some trepidation, we wanted to avoid pitching the tent in darkness. Fortunately, we pulled into an absolutely wonderful campsite on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi with half an hour to spare.
Our less than perfect day was improved by the beautiful view and a vat of spag bol for dinner. We reasoned that we had to open some wine for the bolognaise. We opened the wine, none of it made it into our dinner.
The following morning was bone chillingly cold and Caro remained resolutely in the tent until hunger drove her out. We escaped the chill of the shade and ate our breakfast on the beach.
Our day was dedicated to Ruta Los Siete Lagos, the seven lakes drive, a scenic route from Villa La Angostura to San Martin de los Andes. We decided to get all the way North in one day and then spend two days hiking and driving back to Villa La Angostura, from where we would be crossing back into Chile. It's only 110kms to San Martin de los Andes so it was easily manageable in a couple of hours, we it stretched to four with many stops and a short hike. It is a breathtakingly beautiful drive. At one point Caro turned around and said "I never thought I would say this, but I think that Patagonia may be more beautiful than New Zealand". That, from us, is very high praise indeed.
We did one short hike which we wouldn't necessarily recommend, from Lago Bailey Willis to Laguna Bullines, you never really escape the road noise and the trail isn't particularly pretty. There is also a demon plant that did a superb job of painfully epilating James's legs as he walked.
The lake at the end was very pretty and calm.
A few more photos from the drive.
Our final stop for the day was San Martin de Los Andes, a pretty town on the shore of Lake Lácar. James was in urgent need of steak so we decided to camp near enough to town to allow us to come back in for dinner. The high season ends at the end of February and by the time we came to call, on March 14th, all of the campsites appeared to have closed up shop. By knocking repeatedly on the window of one apparently abandoned site, we managed to secure a space for the night. The woman mentioned something vaguely about registering and paying later and waved us off. It was another cracking spot.
A lad of about 15 was despatched later to collect money from us and attempt to tell us something about the showers. He spoke zero English and was obviously enormously uncomfortable trying to talk to us at all. After much blank staring and many awkward silences, we brought out the google translate and it transpired that he needed to lock the showers, which we hadn't yet used. We had another five minutes of stilted conversation and eventually he just shrugged and walked away leaving us with very little idea as to when the showers would be locked, we hoped that one of us wouldn't have the misfortunate of being in there when it happened. We benched this dilemma and got ourselves ready to go back to town for dinner. Part of the reason that we haven't had much steak yet is because people eat so late in Argentina, the restaurants don't even open until 8/8:30 at which point we would usually be thinking about getting into bed. We found a parilla restaurant with just a couple of other diners in it and, with the aid of google translate to understand the different cuts, ordered ourselves a mountain of cow. We'd arrived just at the right time, 45 minutes later every single table was full and there was a queue at the door. The steak was fantastic.
Full to the brim we drove back to our campsite for the night. The showers were still unlocked.
We woke the next morning to clouds scudding across the sky and locked showers; someone had snuffled down in the night to lock them whilst we slept. Why? We have absolutely no idea, we'd passed some guys sleeping in their car on the way back the previous night so maybe there are stealthy night showerers who sneak in to campsites to use their facilities.
We had a long hike planned for the day so we ate and got packed up quickly and made our way to Villa Traful. We are 100% fair weather hikers. We do not go for walks for the simple pleasure of putting one foot in front of the other; we enjoy a challenge, appreciate good views, Caro considers it to be athletic tanning and, above all, we both love the excuse to eat more because we have "already burned it off". So, when we made it to Villa Traful and saw the ominous looking clouds overhead, we debated as to whether our planned six-hour hike was going to happen. We reasoned that the clouds could easily blow over and there was a viewpoint about an hour in, so we could always turn around then. We registered at Tourist Information, drove to the trailhead, rather ambitiously slapped on some suncream and marched off up the hill.
Every so often we would turn around to see the view, it was still quite lovely despite the clouds but we noted that we could see less of it every time we turned to look.
It started to spit and drizzle but we kept on plodding up the hill. When the rain intensified we thought about turning around but decided to carry on to the viewpoint, so as to achieve something. The last 200 metres were the steepest and puffing and blowing we reached the summit to enjoy the lack of view.
We agreed that it was not worth hiking any further, we would simply get cold and wet and have no amazing view to make it all worthwhile. The path was so steep that it was actually easier to run back down than walk and this part we enjoyed immensely; we did almost give one woman a heart attack, she must have thought that some of the half wild cows that graze the hills were pounding down the hill towards her. We bundled straight in to the car and drove to the Tourist Information where the man was not remotely surprised to see us 4 hours earlier than expected.
We had planned to camp in Villa Traful but it was only 1:30 and it seemed silly to settle down for a day in the rain so we headed south again to Villa La Angostura, where we planned to hike the next day. The drizzle followed us and when we pulled over on a lake shore for lunch, Caro chose to huddle in the car under her tent blanket rather than shiver outside.
We drove back out to our beautiful lakeside camp from two days' previous. We tried to pitch up in exactly the same spot, right on the waterfront, but it was exposed and the wind had kicked up a notch to the extent that James had to lie on the tent to stop it from flying away as we pitched it.
We picked a more sheltered site and set up camp. For the first time on our road trip, we took the opportunity to build a campfire. We both took a lot of childish joy from the campfire, it reminded us vividly of camping when we were kids.
The following morning it was bright and clear and we set out to walk Bosque de Arrayanes , a walk that Lonely Planet highly recommends and which we had also seen pop up in a couple of blogs. We picked up lunch in town and parked up on the lake.
If you take the ferry in one direction it's a 12km hike, otherwise it's 24km return, a stiff day's walking even on relatively flat terrain. However, the ferry costs £12 each and that, on top of the already spicy £6 each for the park entrance, made us think twice. Had it been a circular hike we may have chosen to walk, but 6 hours there and back on the same path wasn't really appealing so we coughed up for the ferry. The ferry journey is really lovely and for about 35 minutes one of the crew kept up a constant stream of information over the PA system about the park, the lake, the Lynch family who once owned the whole peninsuala and many other things. It would make the cost of the ferry 100% worthwhile… if you are fluent Spanish. Caro spent much of the time frowning in concentration in order to turn to James at intervals with such golden droplets of information as: "I think she said that the lake is 10 metres deep here and then there was something about the Atlantic."
We arrived at the jetty and tackled the 800m boardwalk through the arrayanes forest first. The Lynch family had been particularly keen on arrayan trees and had cut down every other species in order to allow their favourites room to grow. The result is a dense forest of unusually cinnamon coloured trees.
The so-called interpretive trail only had about 5 information boards and none of these had an enormous amount of information on them, we were a bit disappointed. After the boardwalks we had some lunch and then set off on the remaining 11km hike back to the car. The forest is lovely and the hike is generally quite easy, certainly more-so in the return direction, where the hills are in your favour. We hadn't read of anyone cycling through the park but evidently it is a popular way to see it if the number of people who whizzed past us on the downhill stretches are anything to go by.
It was cold out of the sun but the forest isn't particularly dense so we often found ourselves walking in sunshine.
We completed the walk in just over two hours and felt that we had had a good leg-stretch, but didn't necessarily think it was worth the cost given that there are twenty odd other hikes in the area that are free.
We went back to camp for a couple of hours and then went back in to town for more steak, making a stop at the Irish Bar for beer.
We ended up in Al Alba, where we had a superb meal, even the bread basket was excellent.
By the end we were too full even for ice cream, although we eyed it up for several minutes.
The next morning we packed the tent up properly, we wouldn't be using it again for a while, and made our way back to the Chilean border. The weather deteriorated as we drove and we found ourselves, once again, driving in to clouds as we entered Chile. There were no dramas at the border this time and we made our way quickly to Puerto Varas where we stopped for lunch, before heading back to Puerto Montt. We'd purposely booked in to a hostel outside of town, as we didn't feel any love for the town itself but when we pulled up the very lovely woman explained apologetically that there had been a problem with the bathrooms and she had to move all of her guests to her sister's hostel. We assured her that this was not a problem and she gave us the address of where we would be staying. Obviously, it was the same hostel that we had stayed in two weeks earlier. To be perfectly fair, this time there was a room between us and the shared bathroom, so that's something.
We bid farewell to Emilio, who was looking more dishevelled and dusty than ever, and prepared for our flight to Santiago the next morning.
Side Note: Our campsites on the 7 Lakes drive were both absolutely beautiful but they had one other thing in common: they were dusty. A fine dark grey dust that got on to and into everything. Our feet were black throughout and despite vigorous washing remained resolutely stained for days afterwards. James's still haven't returned to normal.

Helmut K. Anheier (born January 4, 1954) is a German-American academic. He is professor of sociology and past president of the Hertie School in Berlin. Until September 2019 he held a chair at the Max Weber Institute of Sociology, Heidelberg University, where he was also the Academic Director of the Center for Social Investment and Innovation. His research interests include civil society, social innovation, organizational theory, governance and policy research, social science methodology, including indicator models

Anheier studied sociology and economics at the University of Trier in Germany (1976–80) and obtained a MA, MPhil and PhD at Yale (1981, 1982, 1986). At Yale University, he studied under Juan Linz, Paul DiMaggio, Walter Powell, Scott Boorman and Charles Perrow focusing on comparative sociology, social network analysis and organizational sociology. While being a research assistant at Yale's Program on Nonprofit Organizations, he wrote his dissertation on comparative institutional development in West Africa, which involved fieldwork in Nigeria, Senegal and Togo (1983-4), and constitutes one of the first applications of comparative blockmodel analysis. While in Africa, he also conducted research on informal sector economies, business innovation, land entrepreneurship in urban areas in Nigeria and Ghana as part of a project at the University of Cologne (1985).

In 1986, Anheier became assistant professor for comparative sociology and methodology at Rutgers University, and in 1988 joined the United Nations International Narcotics Control Board  as a social affairs officer on a diplomatic track, where he worked on statistical estimates of the world supply and demand of controlled substances. In 1990, returning to Rutgers University, he also became co-director of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, one of the largest social science projects of the 1990s, operating in over forty countries to measure the economic and social relevance of nonprofit organizations. In 1998, he moved to the London School of Economics, where Anheier held a Centennial Professorship (2001-2006) and, with Lord Dahrendorf and Anthony Giddens as mentors, founded and directed the Centre for Civil Society to focus on civil society in the context of European integration. He then moved back to the US as Professor of Public Policy and Social Welfare (2001–11) at the University of California (UCLA), where he established another Center for Civil Society, this time with a focus on Southern California, philanthropy and globalization. While on leave from UCLA, he founded the Center for Social Investment and Innovation at Heidelberg in 2006, later joining the Max Weber Institute of Sociology, before taking on the helm of the Hertie School of Governance in 2009.

Initially, Anheier published mainly on comparative sociology, economic sociology, and social network analysis, and in the 1990s, increasingly on nonprofit organizations in an international perspective. In the 2000s, he published mostly on civil society and its comparative measurement as well as on nonprofit management and policy more generally. In the 2010s, he has so far largely focused on three areas: the role of philanthropic foundations in the U.S. and Europe; social innovations; and governance research, especially governance indicator systems.

Overall, he has published over 450 academic publications, with articles in the top journals of sociological and policy research. His book Nonprofit Organizations has been described as the first fully comprehensive textbook in its field, and won a Best Book Award by the American Academy of Management. His work on civil society, too, did receive several awards. Not only these books but also "When Things Go Wrong" (Sage)  and the Global Studies Encyclopedia (with Mark Juergensmayer, Sage) as well as the Global Civil Society Yearbook (with Mary Kaldor; Oxford University Press, Sage) became reference books in graduate programs in North America and Europe. His recent publications include several special journal issues on hybrid organizations and social innovation, US philanthropy (Brookings Press), and the Hertie School Governance Reports (Oxford University Press).

Anheier contributed to the conceptual and methodological foundations of nonprofit and civil society research in several ways, including the social origins theory (with Lester M Salamon), the Law on Nonprofit Complexity, and the term Creative Philanthropy (with Diana Leat). He was one of the founders of ISTR, the International Society for Third-Sector Research, initiated the United Nations Handbook on Nonprofit Institutions as part of the system of national accounts, founded two journals, Voluntas (journal) and the Journal of Civil Society, initiated several book series (amongst others: The Culture and Globalization Series Vol. 1-5 (Sage); the Global Studies Encyclopedia (Sage); the Global Civil Society Yearbook (Oxford)), pulled together a dictionary, the International Dictionary of Nonprofit and Nongovernmental Organizations with Regina List (Taylor & Francis); and co-edited the first international encyclopedia on civil society and nonprofits.

He holds both US and German citizenship, and is married to artist-designer Emilie Birlo-Anheier.

A Charter for the Social Solidarity Economy
By Staff, REAS, originally published by Guerilla Translation
This charter was originally published in Spanish as rallying call for Social Solidarity Economy initiatives within the Spanish territory. We have translated it to share its principles with English speaking audiences and Social Solidarity initiatives worldwide. This article complements and is closely tied to our translation to Feminism and the Social Solidarity Economy: a Short Call to Action.
The Solidarity Economy is a vision for economic activity that takes people, the environment and sustainable development as its core principles.
Following various methods, the Social and Solidarity Economy (or SSE, also known as the "Solidarity Economy") is a way of living that protects the integrity of people and subordinates the economy to its true end: to sustainably provide the material bases for the personal, social and environmental development of humanity.
The Social and Solidarity Economy is based on individuals and communities arising from social initiatives. Material benefits are not the essential building block of its identity. Rather, it defines itself by the quality of life and well-being of its members and the whole of society as a global system.
Transversal values and axes
c— equity, justice, economic fraternity, social solidarity and direct democracy — into its economic management practices. Moreover, as a new form of production, consumption and distribution, it presents itself as a viable, sustainable alternative for the satisfaction of individual and global needs, aspiring to consolidate as an instrument of social transformation.
To fulfil our mission, organizations participating in the general Solidarity Economy movement and REAS, Network of Networks1 in particular, share the following transversal axes:
Autonomy as a principle for freedom and the exercise of co-responsibility.
Self-management as a process that respects, involves, teaches, equalizes opportunities and enables empowerment.
A culture of liberation as the grounds for creative, scientific and alternative thinking to pursue, research and establish new ways of coexistence, production, enjoyment and consumption to reimagine economics and politics in service to all peoples.
Personal development in all human dimensions and capacities: physical, psychological, spiritual, aesthetic, artistic, sensitivity, relational, in harmony with nature, superseding unbalanced models of economic, financial, bellicose, consumerist, transgenic and anomalous growth wrongly justified in the name of ungrounded models of development.
Symbiosis with nature.
Human and economic solidarity as a guiding principle for our local, national and international relations.
The 6 principles of the Charter for the Solidarity Economy
Based on our assertions, objectives and values, we have written a Charter of Principles for the Solidarity Economy. We consider this the backbone and identifying element of the Solidarity Economy. Its principles are:
1. Principle of Equity
We believe that equity introduces a principle of ethics or justice to equality. As a value, it acknowledges the equal dignity of all people and protects their right to not be subject to relations based on domination, regardless of people's social condition, gender, age, ethnicity, origin, capacity, etc.
A more just society is one where all people recognize each other as equals in rights and possibilities, while also recognizing existing differences between persons and groups. As such, it must equitably satisfy the respective interests of all.
Equality is an essential social objective given that its absence invariably leads to a loss of dignity. When joined by acknowledgement and respect toward differences, equality becomes "equity".
2. Principle of Work
We see work as a key element in the quality of life for individuals and communities, as well as the economic relations between citizens, peoples and states. At REAS we consider work as part of a wider social and institutional context that engages with economies and communities.
We advocate for the importance of restoring the human, social, political, economic and cultural dimensions of work which develops people's capacities, and produces goods and services to satisfy our real needs as individuals and those of our immediate environments and communities. To us, work is much more than a job or occupation.
We hold that these activities can be exercised individually as well as collectively, be paid or unpaid (as voluntary work), and that the working person can either be contracted or assume ultimate responsibility for the production of goods and services (freelance/self-employment).
Within this social dimension it should be pointed out that without the reproductive or care work mainly performed by women, society would not be able to sustain itself.
This care work is still largely unrecognized by society and remains unequally distributed.
3. Principle of Environmental Sustainability
We hold that all our productive and economic activities happen within nature. Our point of departure is to work with nature, not against it, while also recognizing its rights.
We believe that a good relationship with nature is a source of economic wealth and good health for all. This is why environmental sustainability must be an integral part of all our actions, as we assess our environmental impact and ecological footprint for the long run.
We aim to significantly reduce the human ecological footprint of all our activities, advancing towards sustainable and equitable ways of producing and consuming while promoting an ethics of sufficiency and austerity.
4. Principle of Cooperation
We favor cooperation over competition within and beyond our organizations and as part of our network, while looking to collaborate with other public and private entities.
We aim to build together a model of society grounded on local, harmonious development, fair commercial relations, equality, trust, co-responsibility, transparency and respect.
We assert that the Solidarity Economy should be founded on participative and democratic ideals and that it should promote cooperative learning and work between people and organizations by fostering collaborative processes, joint decision making and fair distribution of tasks and responsibilities. To do so, we need to guarantee the highest levels of horizontality while also respecting individual autonomy without generating dependencies.
We understand that these cooperative processes should extend to all whether local, regional, autonomic2, statewide or international. These must be regularly articulated through networks that live by and foster such values.
5. Principle of Non-profit
We are pursuing and practicing an economic model geared toward the full, collective and individual development of all people and, as a medium, the efficient management of economically viable, sustainable and wholly gainful projects, where surpluses are reinvested and redistributed.
This non-profit orientation is closely tied to our way of measuring overall results. Beyond economic aspects, we also take into account human, social, environmental, cultural and participative processes in ways that are beneficial to all.
This means that our activities direct any and all profits toward the improvement or development of the social objectives of our projects, as well as toward supporting other solidarity and general interest initiatives. This is how we are building together a more humane, equitable and solidarity-based social model.
6. Principle of Territorial Responsibility
Our commitment to the environment takes shape through participation in our local, communitarian and sustainable development contexts.
Our organizations are fully integrated in the territory and social context where they develop their activities. This demands active participation in and cooperation with other organizations involved in the local economic and social fabric.
We see this collaboration as a journey where positive experiences of solidarity can generate a transformative process to overcome structures of inequality, domination and exclusion.
Our commitment to the local dimension propels us in the search for more globally-oriented solutions, continually moving back and forth between the micro and macro, local and global.

I just wish that the 2 catchers who are more than likely going to break camp (Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Jason Varitek) had a little more help…'Tek will be a superb backup catcher, as he was last year, but giving the starting reins to someone who is less than 2 years away from the yips? And is a career .248 hitter? UGH….
Well, John Lackey arrived about 10 lbs lighter, after spending the off-season doing cardio like a freak. Let's hope the better conditioning, plus the fact that he now knows what its like to pitch in a pressure cooker known as Boston, will help him improve to the pitcher deserving of the $82.5 million he signed for last year. I personally think he'll win a couple more games, maybe go 16-8, with a 4.05 ERA–I don't expect an ace of the staff–but I do expect him to chew up alot of innings, like he did last year, and get somewhat better….
As part of MLB's breast cancer initiative that they do every year for Mother's Day, Red Sox Ace Jon Lester (and cancer survivor himself) will be part of the selection committee to choose honorary bat girls. Coordinated with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's largest breast cancer organization, Red Sox fans ages 18 and older can go online between now and April 14th to share inspirational stories about themselves or loved ones. Then on Mother's Day, May 8th, one bat girl will take part in pre-game activities, be honored during an on-field ceremony at Fenway Park, and receive pink MLB merchandise and two tickets to the game. Winners will be based on: originality, quality of writing, demonstration of commitment to breast cancer awareness, and public appeal as determined by online fan votes. Good Luck!
Finally, Out of the Park Baseball has announced that Pre-Orders are being accepted for OOTP 12 for just $29.99, which is $10.00 off the regular price. And that is not all: you'll get to download a full 2 days before everyone else (expected release date Opening Day 2011) AND, if you order before the end of this month (Feb 28th) your name will be entered to win an iPad–and not just any old iPad–the 2nd Generation iPad, the one Apple has not even announced its release date yet…and you could be the 1st on your block to own one!
And for those you who are fans of OOTP 11 (We here at Boston Red Thoughts ran the simulation last year, and hope to do it again this year), 12 is even better: with the latest and greatest rosters, including last year's draft picks, a revamped financial system, greater immersion and realism in the game, and much much more! For more information, check out OOTP's latest newsletter…Good luck, and I hope you win the iPad!

Why tech titans like Google value 'soft skills' over good grades
James Leonard, head of education at Google, says there's more to life than good grades Credit: Google
Around the country last Thursday, students eagerly awaited their A-level results. Many will play the waiting game again today when GCSE results are released.
It's an exciting time for students and their families as the exams mark a pivotal point in students' lives as they consider their next educational and vocational steps.
GCSE qualifications and A-levels obviously mean a great deal in terms of highlighting academic achievement and demonstrating to potential employers that students are ready to accomplish even more as young adults.
Developing skills in maths, science and English are important to being a well-rounded student, but they're not the only skills that dictate success.
As the new school year begins, educators need to remember that teaching digital and "soft skills" – such as problem-solving and collaboration – are just as important as securing good grades.
Both employers and higher education institutions expect pupils to be equipped with social, emotional and digital skills which must be developed within the school environment from the earliest years.
Research has shown just how critical digital and soft skills are in both employment and higher education.
In a study published earlier this year by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), sponsored by Google for Education, 79 per cent of educators said that soft skills must be developed alongside foundational knowledge.
In addition, 75 per cent said that technology in the classroom cultivates students' collaborative work habits.
Students themselves recognise that not every skill for success is taught within the confines of the standard curriculum.
In a Sutton Trust poll of young adults published on the day A-level results were announced, fewer respondents between the ages of 11 and 16 believe that it is important to go to university to do well and "get on in life" (75 per cent in 2018, compared to 78 per cent in 2017 and 86 per cent in 2013).
Reflecting on my own education as well as my years teaching in the classroom, I recall the emphasis placed on strong academic performance.
Whilst grades open doors and give rise to new opportunities, it's how students capitalise on those opportunities by leveraging soft skills that predicate success.
For many businesses, prospective employees' competencies beyond academic results are increasingly important.
In fact, at Google we have found that grades alone are not predictive of work performance. In the hiring process we look for evidence of intellectual curiosity and emergent leadership, as these competencies better indicate whether or not a candidate will thrive on the job.
Google says it is interested in more than just good grades
For today's students wondering how they will land their first jobs, I recommend focusing on three indispensable soft skills.
Firstly, start building people networks now. Creating a network stretches beyond just collaborative working skills.
Students today should proactively build advocates in their community and proactively seek mentors in industry. There's no reason this can't start in school.
When applying for a job or further education position, digital literacy is crucial.
At the most basic level, student CVs should be polished and email communications should be succinct. During the interview process, these basics are key to demonstrating that a student is suited to the position in question, and that skills are a match for the employers' needs.
All schools should help students develop online evidence (such as e-portfolios) to best represent their talents and experience.
Problem-finding and problem-solving skills are increasingly important in a world of such rapid change.
According to Neil Mercer, Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Cambridge, "Employers are crying out for those skills. They want good communicators, listening managers and effective team players – people who can come up with new ideas and share what they know."
Educators and school leaders are vital in ensuring that soft skills are part of classroom learning.
To enable this, I recommend focusing on these research-based proof points:
Implement change with purpose. Shifting pedagogy to include soft skills requires vision, planning and resources to implement effectively.
A well thought-through approach from senior leaders with training and support for educators allows teachers to test new tools and approaches before working them into lessons. Research shows that when teachers have more freedom to customise their curriculum, they demonstrate greater readiness to teach soft skills.
Consider a range of strategies. There are many different teaching and learning styles that can foster the development of soft skills. Schools should support teachers to try out different pedagogical strategies, be it active learning, cognitive activation or personalised learning.
Address budget constraints. There is no doubt that budget can prevent the implementation of innovative teaching techniques and new technologies.
More than half of the educators surveyed in the EIU study said that budget limitations were the most significant barrier to adopting new teaching strategies.
Promote problem-solving and collaboration with the help of technology. Teachers recognise that technology can help them to create classroom environments where students can practice developing these soft skills.
A-level and GCSEs will always have a place in gauging student achievement. But in a rapidly changing work environment, problem-solving and problem-finding skills are crucial for transforming today's students into tomorrow's workforce.
Educators must demonstrate to students every day that communication, teamwork and collaboration help to build the soft skills needed for future careers.
The foundation for future success in the modern workplace increasingly lies beyond grades.

It is interesting to note that Diva also earned her MACH 3 on May 28, 2006 at this same trial site with the same club and one of the judges was also Kera Holm.
MACH 2 Tessa and MACH 12 Diva on the same day!
UPDATE: 2010: 2010 was another busy year filled with trials. In May at Eugene OR, Tessa finally made her first MACH! I was so excited that I started crying. We had had several close runs for the last double Q, but little things (really my fault beyond a doubt) keep that last elusive double Q from happening. But finally we got it! We finished the season (before driving to Mexico) at Rigby, ID with 32 double Q and 3,472 points.
UPDATE: December 27, 2009: We are are still in Idaho. The whole year has flown by with no updates to our adventures! We have been totally involved with our house building project since we returned from Mexico at the beginning of 2009. We have managed to enter and compete in about a dozen trials. Unfortunately early in the year Tessa was blown off the A frame a Argus Ranch and I managed to step on her. It displaced her left knee which had previously shown signs of luxating. She ran well the next day, but the following weekend in Spokane, she refused to take some of the obstacles. She did run in Eugene, OR after that trial, but not with her usual enthusiasm. Ron and I decided that she would probably need knee surgery and we scheduled her surgery for early June.
The first knee surgery was not totally successful and even though we competed in several trials in the fall, I felt her knee luxate and sometimes she would not take the A frame (which put the most stress on the knee). I enrolled Tessa in an exercise class in Spokane where we used a large peanut shaped ball. She did really well with the class. I also started putting her in the bathtub and exercising her in the water to build up her knee. However the knee was still displacing. We took her back to the surgeon who agreed that she needed the surgery re-done. On December first, she had knee surgery once again. This time I have been keeping her sedated on pills and in a small crate almost all day long. The knee feels better to me and she is using the leg in a normal manner when I let her down on the ground. Hopefully this time her knee will heal properly and be strong.
What we did achieve in 2009: Tessa now has 16 double Q's and 1,399 points. Also she passed the CGC (Canine Good Citizen) test and received a certificate. We will be going to Mexico in February and return to the US sometime in April. Our goal for 2010 is 4 more double Q's and a MACH!
November 1, 2008: We are now in Mexico for the next two months. Tessa has 9 double Q's and 837 speed points. Little things like holding the sit or down on the table or a spin in front of a jump or tunnel and even a dropped bar has kept us from adding those all important double Q's. But Tessa has the spirit and the speed and I am sure we will start earning more double Q's.
October 12, 2008 - Tessa has 8 double Q's and 726 points. We are still having some problems on the standard runs. Often the table is an issue with Tessa barking and bouncing out of position. Sometimes we get refusals or even off courses when she decides her way is better than mine. Although she has the MX title, standard runs are still difficult for us. We have done 22 Excellent A FAST runs and still have not been able to get the send and qualify. I think after the last trial we have already entered FAST, that I will hold off entering anymore FAST classes until I know that she can drive out and stay out. She runs really fast and can make time and would have enough points, but she still doesn't have the distance work needed to qualify. Tessa is quite the character and lots of fun!
September 21, 2008: Tessa earned her MX title and now has 8 double Q's and 650 points. 12 more double Q's and only 100 more points to earn the MACH title. To learn more about a MACH title click here.
September 1, 2008: Tessa has 6 double Q's and 551 points. She is qualified for 2009 AKC Nationals. She needs one more standard Excellent B run for her MX title. 14 more double Q's and only 199 points for a MACH.
August 24, 2008: 4 double Q's, 384 speed points, MXJ title and 7 qualifying runs towards her MX (standard) title. Only 3 more standard runs for the MX title. 2 more double Q's and 16 more points to be qualified for AKC Nationals in 2009!
July 13, 2008: Tessa earned her Excellent B jumpers title, MXJ, and now has 3 qualifying Excellent B standard runs and 3 Double Q's plus 195 MACH points. Tessa is half way to qualifying for Nationals! Check our Adventures 2008 page for more information and pictures.
Meet my five pound Papillon, Tessa. She is Diva's little "sister". Tessa arrived at our home at 9 weeks of age and 2.2 pounds. On August 31, 2007 Tessa did her first agility trial in Hood River, OR. At this 4 day trial she completed her Novice Jumpers with Weaves title and Novice Standard title (AKC), plus she got 2 "legs" (qualifying runs) towards the Novice FAST title. On September 8, 2007 Tessa earned her 3rd "leg" in Novice FAST and got her FAST Novice title too!
May 19, 2008 Tessa has earned her Excellent A Standard title and her Open FAST title too over the last weekends. She now has 39 MACH points.
May 11, 2008 Tessa has earned Excellent A jumpers title, one "leg" in Excellent A standard and one "leg" and 10 MACH points in Excellent B jumpers.
October 28, 2007 Tessa has earned her Open Jumpers and Open Standard titles. She is not ready to move to Excellent and hasn't earned any legs in Open FAST. We are in Mexico for about two months and will be practicing distance work, weave pole entry and tunnels. Our next trial will be a 4 day trial for New Years at Pomona, CA at the Open level. Check out some really great agility pictures from Pahrump, NV.
October 12, 13 and 14, 2007, Wenatchee, WA. I moved Tessa to Open in all classes. She did really well in the Jumpers and qualified all three days and earned her Open Jumpers title! Wow. We had some errors on 2 of the 3 standard runs, but by Sunday we got a leg in standard with a spectacular time and one table fault. We tried two open FAST classes, but Tessa just wasn't ready for the distance part of the challenge. The weekend was a blast and Tessa continues to be a show stopper with her fast teeter performance. Next weekend we are off to Yakima, WA for more fun.
October 6 and 7, Helena, MT: Tessa continues to be a super speedy dog in the agility ring. At Helena, MT we ran in Novice and had impressive fast runs Queing in all but one jumper's run where she skipped a jump and took the next one before I could stop her! She is exciting and entertaining to watch. Her handler, Susy, is loud and exciting too. What a combo.
Check out Tessa's fashion pages for more Tinkerbell pictures. Also see the action shot of Tessa going head over heels on the agility course.

One of the most romantic and sweet decoration trends of the moment. The Shabby Chic will help you create a pleasant atmosphere in any corner of your home. Today we tell you how to create it!
I have always liked the idea of decorating each space with a romantic, special touch. Now we can find a great variety of decorative items that can make your home a unique place. Do not miss the new style in Shabby Chic decor that is a mix between both styles, ancient and modern, what we have and what we buy, the old and the new. This style is defined by the combination of the used and new elements. We must be clear that it is not pure vintage or retro style, but encompasses larger parts such as the whole range of white, mixed with aromantic style.
The restoration of furniture is one of the elements of this trend, since we can choose any furniture, shelf, bedside table, table, paintings or walls to give them a new image. The philosophy of the Shabby Chic is, as its name implies, to turnsomething that is in bad condition into something completely chic. Something that many of the trends when decorating a space do not have is that this is very economic since the property we have, all we have to do is obtain the materials to restore it.
This style uses the whites palette, but also any color with a softened or pastel color. Walls, furniture, accessories are combined with these colors.
We take into account that the used furniture is antique and perhaps do not have the desired look, the most recommended colors to turn them into a Shabby Chic style are baby pink, light blue, green or pastel yellow. If there is a color that does not use this style in the furniture is dark, they give a look of "furniture of the grandmother" and less original.
Something as everyday as a wardrobe can become an ideal decoration object.The idea of using the wallpaper is one of the elements of this trend.When restoring a piece of furniture, wall or any suitable surface, we can use a variety of prints that will turn that object into something unique.
Floral motifs are part of this style inspired by old Britain and its old houses. Perhaps the difference between the vintage style and Shabby chic is that in the latter, floral prints are smaller in size and in a smaller format. They are used in curtains, tablecloths, sheets and even pictures.
If there is something that is characteristic of this trend are the simple and romantic vases with few flowers, pure country style and at the same time natural. In addition the lace, the embroideries and the tip are characteristic elements with which an elegant finish is obtained.
There are many decoration shops in which we can find materials to complete this style with a wall clock from Allpubliclibraries. It is true that if you love Shabby Chic and do not want to restore any furniture, you can buy it already made, that is, a furniture that appears to be old and restored. But we will always go deeper into the Shabby Chic world with used furniture that is really old and we can restore it with our own hands!
Accessories and elements of this style are candelabra, candles and mirrors with printed edges white and even gold with an elegant touch. Articles of any kind but always with that pastel tone that conveys tranquility and being so soft colors are very comfortable.
We can choose anything, however small, to create this Shabby Chic atmosphere.A restored clock, a mirror, flowers, vases, chairs or even a vintage lamp is ideal in this style.
It is important not to forget that the Shabby Chic style consists of reinventing itself, using materials such as chipped wood, worn curtains, old tables … we can create the perfect combination of old and modern style.

"The play — staged with simple effectiveness on a bare-bones academic set by Takeshi Kata and Se Oh that's lyrically lifted by Elizabeth Harper's lighting — employs a strategy that nearly gave me a heart attack the first time around."
"Breathtaking lighting by Elizabeth Harper"
"People talk idly about designs serving a play, but the sculpted environment is genuinely a central participant here. Craig Siebels' narrow little boxes for act one's Southie locations are brightly lit by Elizabeth Harper to reveal the pulse of life within, whereas act two presents a wide expanse of glittering manse in which shadows hint at ugly secrets."
"[The show put] most rock and electronic bands with firm set lists, little room for improvisation, and no bitchin' light shows to shame. I was promised strobes and fog machines to simulate a beheading, and it was bequeathed unto me. God, if only The Pajama Game had featured a scene of Doris Day's severed head dangling on the factory floor as a warning to the labor union."
"Elizabeth Harper's lighting design is haunting."
"The stellar ensemble shines in a production enriched by lighting designer Elizabeth Harper and scenic designer Michael Ganio, whose hauntingly lit tenement towers loom over the Younger household like the crushing weight of history itself."
"Scenic designer Michael Ganio and lighting designer Elizabeth Harper perfectly capture the oppressive nature of the cramped Younger home."
"From the brilliant lighting and precise costumes, to the perfectly subtle sound design, this production is the pinnacle of what what makes theatre, and the live experience, great."

And now it risks being turned into an utter farce should the other main parties follow through on their announcments that they won't participate (to which I will be gravely dissappointed if they do follow through). Tragic circumstances or not, the world still continues to turn and tumble through the cosmos, and in the spirit of good democratic practice this election really ought to be properly contested, even if from the outset the result does seem a foregone conclusion.

That would make it I believe the first uncontested Parliamentary by election since World Ward Two. Even during the war, some were contested. Uncontested seems unlikely to me. The attention that can be gathered from standing will no doubt attract one or two. And good for them I say. Democracy must take its course.
A serious candidate arguing that the democratic process must go on could gain substantial traction. Margaret Thatcher in 1984, for example, gained a lot of respect when she went ahead with the Conservative conference even after she nearly lost her own life to that bomb in the Grand.
The idea of political parties standing aside has no precedent in this situation. It is completely absurd and I dare say Jo Cox herself would not have wanted it.

The Alliance Party and DUP also stood in Belfast South in 1982 - they were far more realistic challengers to the Ulster Unionists.
Compare most of the Anglo Irish Agreement by-elections which were uncontested by the main parties with either lone Trots or a straw candidate and Haltemprice where there was a freak show. I suspect political culture has changed too much for an uncontested by-election.

Indeed, I would say the likely result has a lot to do with it, rather than any great principle. We didn't see the Lib Dems not contesting Eastbourne after Sinn Féin/IRA murdered Ian Gow. Likewise the SDLP in Belfast South after the murder of the Rev Robert Bradford, although it went rather less well for them at the by-election.
I think that's a big factor, certainly. Labour are going to win this by-election barring some miracle, but it is in the interests of democracy that the voters are able to consider alternatives.

Mum Speaks Out After She Was Shamed For Breastfeeding At the Gym
And the reason why is totally infuriating. - by Lucy Bode
A mum who was banished to her gym's bathroom to breastfeed has spoken out the shocking incident which prompted her to cancel her membership on the spot.
Alabama woman Ruha Tacey was excited to work out for the first time since giving birth to her daughter on Wednesday, but instead she was shamed by the 'family friendly' facility for tending to the one-year-old in public.
"My daughter had a hard time in the childcare room," she explained in a Facebook post.
"I sat there and breastfed her to see if he would feel more comfortable in that room. She was still destressed when I tried to leave again, so we left and came back this morning. When I badged into the front door, the very friendly guy at the front desk said, 'Hey, can I talk to you about something really quick? In terms of feeding your child, when you need to do that, could you just use the restroom?' 'The restroom?' I asked. 'I have absolutely never been asked to do that,' I said. 'Well we're a family friendly facility, you see, and yesterday while you were feeding her a man walked by the window.'
Ruha Alford Tacey

She continued: "I told him a man shouldn't feel shame when he sees a woman breastfeeding. And especially if you're family friendly, you should be super pro-breastfeeding!'"
"He said, I'm not telling you not to breastfeed, I just think a little discretion is in order.' "What a shame, I said. Can I cancel my membership?'"
"It's hard enough getting to the gym and trying to work out despite a child with lots of separation anxiety," she added.
After a flood of supportive parents weighed in on Tacey's post, a 'nurse-in' was held outside the gym's main entrance.
Management were also quick to apologise for the request, which was actually against the law. As per the Code of Alabama, breastfeeding is allowed in any public or private location where the mother is authorised to be.
"I've been assured that the company intends to retrain all employees with regards to breastfeeding laws, and the front desk operator will definitely not be asking future breastfeeding mums to nurse in the restroom," Tacey told Yahoo.
"The regional manager apologised to me on behalf of the company and regrets that I was made to feel unwelcome and/or ashamed."
The young mum is hoping that her mistreatment will shine a light on what, sadly, some still consider to be a taboo topic.
"The main message I'd like to get across to the public is that breastfeeding is natural, it's normal and it is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of," she said.
"Individuals are welcome to have their own opinions about whether a nursing mother offends them, but I would hope that they could think of the child first."

Morning Bell: $1.5 Trillion in New Taxes
Mike Brownfield	/ September 20, 2011 / 48 comments
Two years ago, as the United States was coming out of the last recession, President Obama was asked how raising taxes on anyone would help with the economy. The President's answer? "Normally you don't raise taxes in a recession, which is why we haven't, and why we've instead cut taxes." Fast forward to today, as America is struggling with zero job growth and a stagnant economy, and the President has dramatically changed his rhetoric, proposing $1.5 trillion in new taxes on the American people and the country's job creators.
Those massive tax increases come as part of the President's plan to reduce the nation's out-of-control debt, but rather than address the underlying spending problem, it will further deepen America's economic quagmire and only serves to stall the real reform America needs in order to get on a path of fiscal sanity, as Heritage's Alison Fraser explains:
Obama is demanding a 'balanced' approach as though somehow hiking taxes is both fair and necessary. But this notion that he is pushing — half tax hikes and half spending cuts — is beyond the class warfare message it sends. It is a tactic. A tactic to stall the real reforms that our leaders in Washington must undertake now in order to avert a fiscal, economic and moral crisis.
Real reform is necessary because of the depth and scope of America's spending nightmare. "The federal government today is claiming roughly one-fourth of total economic output — about 25 percent of gross domestic product," Heritage's Patrick Knudsen writes. That's a post-World War II record, and it's a huge drag on the economy since all that spending is paid for by taxes and borrowing, which reduce the amount available for investment in the private economy. And down the road, the outlook isn't good: Social Security is growing at a rate of 5.8 percent per year, Medicare at 6.3 percent, and Medicaid at 9 percent. Unless those programs are fundamentally reformed, their costs will keep going up, and taxes will have to keep being increased to pay for them.
Disappointingly, the President yesterday retreated from his previous overtures to entitlement reform and took Social Security reform off the table while proposing minor cuts to Medicare and Medicaid–rather than the reform that would make a significant difference for the country. Obama's plan is bad news for our nation's defense as well, posing even more radical cuts for an already under-funded military.
Setting aside for a moment the fact that the President's plan ignores America's core spending problems, his plan to drastically raise taxes is coming at a time when the country can least afford it. How will the latest Obama tax increase play out? Heritage's Curtis Dubay explains:
The new revenue would come from allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for families and small businesses earning more than $250,000 a year, limiting their deductions, and the President's new "Buffett Rule" that would further raise these job creators' taxes in some way which the President has not defined. He also wants to eliminate deductions, credits, and exemptions. This is a war the President is waging on success–as if so-called fat cats were the root of our spending problems.
The President has set his sights on the wealthy despite the fact that the top 10 percent of earners in America already pay about 70 percent of federal income taxes. And taxing America's job creators will only serve to reduce productivity, slow economic growth, depress wages and salaries, and decrease household wealth. To use the President's own words, raising taxes in bad economic times would "take more demand out of the economy and put businesses in a further hole." Where is that President Obama today?
Raising taxes will not fix our budget and debt crisis. But it can be solved by transforming our entitlement programs, rolling back wasteful and inefficient spending, protecting the nation, and overhauling our punitive, inefficient and noncompetitive tax code, as laid out in Saving the American Dream: The Heritage Plan to Fix the Debt, Cut Spending and Restore Prosperity.
America is facing an unemployment crisis, a debt crisis, a spending crisis, and an entitlement crisis. Instead of making things better, President Obama wants to make matters worse by icing that nightmarish cake with massive tax increases. Two years ago, President Obama emphatically renounced raising taxes in a recession. Now, with the 2012 election looming, he has changed his tune and is taking aim at America's job creators in a game of class warfare designed to play to his liberal base. Job creation has fallen by the wayside.
Quick Hits:
Mexican officials say the U.S. government has not explained what went wrong in the Operation Fast and Furious gun-running debacle, despite at least 150 people killed or wounded in their country from weapons linked to the program.
The Federal Reserve may begin a new bond-buying plan aimed at reducing long-term interest rates in hopes of boosting the economy, but some question whether lowering interest rates any further will have much of a stimulative effect.
The Obama Administration points to China's rapid movement toward "green energy" as an example, but rampant pollution in the country has provoked violent protests. The latest occurred at a solar panel plant.
An explosion in Turkey's capital, Ankara, destroyed cars and injured 15 people. There has been no claim of responsibility, but the country is the midst of a fight against a terrorist organization.
Osama bin Laden might be dead, but terrorism isn't. Al-Qaeda is finding strength in its African affiliates, and it continues to threaten the United States.
