The Fairness Engine
MA & PA TAXES Overview MA & PA Taxes are a simple, outcome‑based fairness system designed to stop extraction at all three levels of government: local, state, and federal. These taxes don’t regulate behavior and they don’t mandate wages or prices. They simply tax extraction signals: wage suppression price gouging productivity hoarding profit shifting rent gouging absentee landlord extraction resource…

Why The excess profit and Market Access Taxes Are Completely Legal and Pure Capitalism
Both the Excess Profit Tax and the Market Access Tax are fully constitutional because they tax economic activity and not identity, status or association. The Constitution gives Congress broad authority to tax commerce, production and market participation and these taxes fall squarely within that power. They do not confiscate property, regulate speech or impose unequal…

Market Access Tax
A Market Access Tax is designed to correct a structural imbalance in the modern economy: firms extract enormous value from public markets, public infrastructure, and public labor pools while contributing only a fraction of that value back to the society that makes their profits possible. Every business operating in the United States benefits from publicly…

Why An Excess profit Tax and Market Access Taxes Outperform Wealth Taxes and Billionaire Taxes
Unlike wealth taxes or billionaire taxes, which target accumulated assets after the fact and often face constitutional challenges around valuation, takings, and unequal treatment, the Excess Profit Tax and Market Access Tax operate entirely within the traditional framework of taxing economic activity.

The Constitution doesn’t guarantee the right to obscene profits
Today we confront a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS of epic proportions. The so-called “minimum wage” has become a MAXIMUM INSULT to the dignity of American workers. And don’t even get me started on the FESTERING WOUND of modern slavery that continues to infect our great nation. It’s time to lance this boil and cauterize it with the…

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ECONOMIC LIBERTY!
Today we discuss the ECONOMIC LIBERATION of the American worker. The $50 minimum wage isn’t some pie-in-the-sky liberal fantasy. It’s PURE, UNADULTERATED ECONOMIC FREEDOM! Our Founders didn’t risk their lives and fortunes so we could scrape by on poverty wages. They envisioned a nation of PROSPERITY. Some lily-livered bureaucrats will tell you a $50 minimum…

On Matters of Predatory Employment Practices and a Federal Minimum Wage of No Less Than $50
Today we confront a question that strikes at the very foundation of our Republic: whether businesses may profit at the expense of the liberty and dignity of their employees. Let me be unequivocal: NO BUSINESS is entitled to profit by trampling on constitutional guarantees. The proposal for a $50 federal minimum wage is not just…

We’re Not Just Tough on Crime, We’re Addicted to It
The 1980s and 1990s were a golden era for those who believe that the path to a just society is paved with prison cells and cheap labor. Let us embark on a journey through this misguided epoch, where the so-called “tough on crime” policies collided spectacularly with the age-old American tradition of exploiting captive labor.…
