Review of Corporate Tax Post



Just reviewed a few of the analysis spreadsheets regarding corporate taxation. Southern politics includes blogger data distortion too, I guess. The United Technology tax assuming it is reflected as an operating cost against revenue is 3% as opposed to the stated 30%. I am making the adjustments and working through other analysis to find any other potential / necessary adjustment!

I will keep you updated on what I find!

Personal Evidentiary Theory, Part I

“Family Values?” v. current (evolved) Constitutional Individual Rights, Protections, & Freedoms


The historical lessons taught to most Americans briefly focuses on early Egyptian, Greco-Roman, and European civilizations. Emphasis is placed on American history relative to the struggle for independence from the British Empire and some historical relationship of European exploration of the Americas. Unless students pursue the history in college courses or independently, little is known of the connections and evolutions among civilizations and will not notice the relevance to current life influence and experience. We marvel at the global cultural architecture and wonders of the world and should see the relevance to early American formation and development.



In earlier blog posts, I have referred to the records of early human civilizations; human and cultural evolution; and the concept of universal rights of man and existence (not a universal legal order counter to sovereignty and rights of humanity) applicable to religion, specifically Christianity. Following the historically taught paths of earthly civilizations, influence is evident in building designs;  organized municipal layouts; fraternal religious and social organizations; and disputable evolutionary paths of humanity learned from biological technology developments (DNA).  This combination of factors reveals the real commonality of humanity and the inter-relationships of many ethnicities. Also revealed is the strategic economic impact of the cumulative human racial - religious identity system for advantage. A system culminating into an American enterprise strategy used until after the major Wars. Although the country experienced many years of economic and social progress, the effect of such a system created alternative strategies relative to the values in the Declaration of Independence, the current US Constitution, and American civil laws elevating social formation of a “family values” ideology.



The definitions of family can be tailored for broad or narrow application as evident in the multiple defined listings and will reveal to some extent group social objective(s). I have been educated around various ethnic groups different than myself [Latino, Black, multi-ethnic, & White] most of my life and have been comfortable learning cultures, networking and socializing with the groups. I would also be comfortable welcoming into my definition of family. Conceptually, “family values” political strategies promote historical southern traditions built around segmented societies to preserve influence relative to concentrated resource accumulation. It fails to recognize the beneficial impact of the expanded economy upon accepted incorporation of expanded citizen civil rights legislation. The impact was an increased consumer base for the importantly recognized “small business” economic development contributions.  Aside from legal considerations, the “family” definition can limit participation and benefits. Particularly troubling with this ideological adoption is the limited distribution of acquired resources based upon global contributions. The “Family Values” recognition would now discount these contributions with exclusionary practices. Society and its current structure are based upon inclusive citizenship contribution with protections provided by legal rights reinforced and supported by the Central Government. If “family values” leaders were the principal regulators of morality, behavior, and rewards, would the judgments for all citizens reflect a consistent application? Compensation and  punitive actions for violation of individual (human) rights by seen and unseen “families” using systematic deception in an attempt to create obligation and increase the “family”? Would it recognize variability in individual understanding of the teachings of Jesus, or God of worship? “Family Values” conflict with the law and individual rights in a Constitutional Democracy.


Science has provided knowledge of human commonality although a cursory analysis of the US social structure reflects the historical past of attempted integration of separate design. Religious institutions mostly organized under the recognition of Christianity with exceptions of varying traditional philosophies created through evolved belief systems. This structure further incorporates “fraternal” organizations built around the historical commonality of beliefs and developed leadership structures of the Order concept. Application of the Order conceptual psychology is evident in municipal design layouts and also reflects the structured logic of mathematics and scientific advancements. Fraternal organizations and “family values” adoption follows this pattern without recognition of the various human personalities similarly identified in the work of Briggs, Myers, and other psychologists. The strict and literal application of the Order definition related to hierarchal ranking (particularly one based upon race) does not reflect the variety of human perspectives and personalities. Furthermore, this type of application limits personal contributions, the potential economic return on abilities, legal and social protections, and freedoms. What would a literal interpretation of human and humankind [man and mankind] reveal?



Given this brief elaboration of the “family values” and Order impacts, the appearance of unconstitutionality is evident unless individually accepted without deception of obligations and conditions. Notwithstanding is the political Oath of office upon election which requires the affirmation and support of the Constitutional basis establishing freedoms, protections, and rights of humanity. This acceptance is of such importance that it is a required incorporation of the US education system and immigrant newcomers are required to learn it as part of the naturalization process to citizenship. The Order definition people identify when using the term is to follow the accepted and system approved laws. Appropriate complexity is incurred with the levels of legal authority given the system of Federal, State, and Municipal laws and ordinances.

Demographic Analysis


I have been reviewing some demographic data on the city of San Antonio, Texas and have developed a few thoughts regarding human social location and development; effective city planning for future population growth; the visible impact of education and the removal of opportunity barriers; and the ineffectiveness of the efficiency argument relative to government involvement in housing and urban planning. One very important note to include so as not to provide a misleading assessment; Eighty-eight percent (88%) of the San Antonio, TX population is native U.S. born.

Studying the San Antonio data is the result of internet availability of data from the city website, agency, and the majority Hispanic/Latino population. These consideration factors were in addition to its location; United States immigration and border issues; and Texas history. Analyzing the data reflects interesting facts about the society in general and earnings / wealth specifically.  Demographic data identifies population percentage levels in categories by District to include: Race, Gender, Education levels, Income on a per capita basis, and Housing (average home values and average rents). Using these demographic data, correlations were calculated to identify the quality of relationship between the measured data points. Correlation simply explains the level of relative shared movement (variability) among the data from one observation to the next. In this case the observations were organized by municipal political Districts 1-10. However, economic social location within the city is seen between Districts 1-5 and Districts 6-10 even without the use of expanded statistical analysis. Districts 6-10 encompass the Northern and Northwest portions of the city closer to the interstate thoroughfare to Austin, TX.


Just a couple of things to point out regarding the data observations and a general point to be made relative to public policy housing initiatives. Although the data suggests a strong relationship among ethnicity and earnings, the revealing underlying assessment is the need to increase the education levels while removing economic barriers to access capital and markets. The way I think about these adjustments is supported by the levels of integration of the Latino and Afro-Latino culture into the United States cuisine and other societal aspects. The economic impact on the Latino community would be dramatically increased if the business influences were originated and/or owned within the community as would any other US cultural-ethnic community. The future value of establishing economic relations in the rest of the world through shared cultural developments and influences with capital investment would also greatly improve current community economics. The other main point reflects the limits and impacts of forcing government spending efficiencies related to housing initiatives. The effect of such a focus forces economic decisions which concentrate poverty in specific regions, or districts, within most cities and impacts the district economic tax base among other things. The efficiency gained on one part of the development equation is eliminated within the districts due to the high concentrations of poverty leading to other social issues much better elaborated by other social scientist’s work than I can express here [law & order concepts; moral opinions; and costs - economic and social]. Historical policies that required affordable housing within each city district provided for a greater distribution and lower location concentrations of poverty within any one city district. Part of the premise of social programs designed to improve education for children is through a better learning environment creating better individual and family opportunities.

Average Human Height by Geographic Region & Gender


While looking through information on DNA, genetics, and origins, I saw interesting information for comparison. It was a listing on
wikipedia for the average human height by gender and country. I reproduced the listing in document images below with links to the actual documents. The Nordic countries had the tallest average heights for both Male and Female genders followed by the United States. I will leave it up to each of you to do your comparisons relative to your known or unknown region of ethnic origins and ideas on human evolution.

Access Games?


My Internet access via laptop is being interrupted again! I have few interesting topics that I am thinking through. Once access is returned to normal I will explain more.


What do they really mean by "family values?"

Constitutional?

I have some thoughts on "calling" also that might make it into a blog.
