regulates the bottom of the pay scale and wants to regulate the top.

Will the new desire for private pay information according to sex, race and [s]immigration status[/s] become a stalking horse to equalize pay between job descriptions? It is something that redneckin has suspected for some time

A good reason for Jury Nullification

I would have to demand a trial of my peers. Maybe I would get off or maybe not.
I know if I was on the jury, the guy (or gal) would go free.

said that she did not find Adams's testimony convincing and that the facts of the case raised doubts in her mind, noting that the Black Panthers were standing in front of a majority-black precinct that had voted overwhelmingly for Democrats in previous elections -- not a prime spot for intimidating white voters.

I would think that would be the Al Howard defense

And Bobby Bright

though a Democrat enabler will still vote like he was a conservative. Bobby Bright needs to be defeated because the (D) after his name helps wreck the nation

The rush to recess gives Democrats little time to pass any major laws. That's why there have been signs in recent weeks that party leaders are planning an ambitious, lame-duck session to muscle through bills in December they don't want to defend before November. Retiring or defeated members of Congress would then be able to vote for sweeping legislation without any fear of voter retaliation.

If any of this passes, blame Bobby Bright

I wonder what the rush was

in the spy trade? The US didn't even take time to adequately interrogate the Russian spies before making the trade.

Something embarrassing for the Obama and the Democrat administration?
Or worse, something that showed collusion between democrat leaders and the unkown Russian spies?

In general, I support a sales tax above property taxes or income taxes.
But for Phenix City to raise its sales tax would only hurt local retailers who already have a rough time competing with the lower sales tax of Muscogee (Columbus) county
Audit a few citizens debit and credit cards for purchases that were made in Columbus and are subject to Alabama and local taxes, and Phenix City should see a revenue increase, not to mention the state

The taxpayers have to pay to make good on RSA commitments

Key measures of the financial health of the Retirement Systems of Alabama's biggest pension plans have fallen nine straight years, and for the fifth year in a row have dropped below a national benchmark for pension plans nationwide.

Just wondering

But do you think that since the unemployment benefits have ran out without congressional renewal that the next unemployment rate will reflect a growing number of job seekers or do you think the benefits will be restored before those who dropped out of the job hunt return?

Bad but better than many?

Once this hypothetical head of household enters the labor market, he or she enters what Thies calls the Dead Zone, an area in which there is very little real benefit to working until the work pays well beyond $40,000 a year. The squiggly line in the Dead Zone reflects the fact that welfare and other income-based wealth transfers often disappear once workers enter the labor market. Unfortunately, given the median income in Alabama, a considerable number of workers operate in this Dead Zone.[4]
