THIS WEEK
Twenty-five million Americans looking for full-time jobs last month could not
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=f%2Bu05%2FPFa4NGH5GyqE3joZJHs8a64WOw>
find them. How is the American political system responding to this crisis? In
Iowa last week, a governor hot on halving the state taxes corporations pay
killed legislation that would have kept open Iowa’s 36 unemployment offices.
The governor says Iowa’s 100,000 jobless don’t need
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=hlPsh7laVqs00ppYN7CGTZJHs8a64WOw>
local offices where they can get help finding work and applying for unemployment
benefits. He’s urging jobless Iowans to hit their local libraries instead and
look for help on the Internet.
America’s rich, of course, don’t have to go online to find help. They have
legions of lawmakers intensely devoted to their welfare, as last week’s debt
ceiling debate once again demonstrated. Congress and the White House now agree
that no “solution” to the ceiling crisis will dare raise taxes on America’s swells.
In other words, the debt ceiling, one way or another, will eventually rise. So
will inequality. Did the debt ceiling debate have to end this way? This week, in
/Too Much/, we peer back into history for help on the answer.

GREED AT A GLANCE
Chris ChristieFifty of America’s most generous political donors — a gang that
included hedge fund billionaires Paul Tudor Jones and Stan Druckenmiller —
“hovered around speakerphones” earlier this month, reports
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=xQVKaGLfebLr%2BJJoG%2F4msJJHs8a64WOw>
/Politico/, for a conference call designed to convince New Jersey governor Chris
Christie to run for the 2012 GOP Presidential nod. Christie hinted he might run
— in 2016 — and impressed the deep pockets on the call, one noted later, “with
his emphasis on family and commitment.” What else might billionaires find
attractive about Christie? The testy governor earlier this summer vetoed a
revenue bill that would have subjected
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=TGh%2BAFKTj%2FAkG0%2FEs7KdEZJHs8a64WOw>
New Jersey's wealthiest to an additional $1,780 in state tax on every $100,000
over $1 million in income. New Jersey rural and suburban schools districts, with
this “millionaire's tax” kaput, are now bracing
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=TrrJeilY%2B%2BtcHpt8yBD6MZJHs8a64WOw>
for nearly half a billion dollars in state aid cuts . . .
The CEO of the world’s largest luxury retailer, the Paris-based LVMH, only needs
one word to describe the state of today’s global luxury market: “remarkable.”
LVMH chief exec Bernard Arnault announced
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=C32P2HbC8vzjji%2F33Ia15r3maThdmbu%2F>
last week that his luxury brand goliath — purveyor of everything from Dom
Perignon champagne to Givenchy perfume — has registered a 22 percent hike in
profits over 2011’s first half. Sales are running particularly strong for
$17,000 Hublot watches — and LVMH is also reporting waiting lists for its $2,100
Louis Vuitton handbags . . .
The world’s most over-the-top pleasure boat, the 530-foor gigayacht that belongs
to Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, has one missile defense system, two
swimming pools, and three helipads. Now the yacht is boasting
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=2gZ57EQVNmv%2BYNIc%2BHOCjpJHs8a64WOw>
something really unexpected: renters. Abramovich is leasing his deep sea pride
and joy out for a clean $2 million a week. The move makes sense of sorts. The
ship costs Abramovich an estimated $50 million a year to maintain — on top of
fuel . . .
Jim MulvaCEO pay has soared, apologists for the executive set like to argue,
because companies have become so much larger. Many corporations certainly have
grown in size — through “mergers and acquisitions” that enrich both the execs
who wheel-and-deal them and the Wall Street banks that handle the paperwork. But
CEO pay apologists never finish the story. The bloated corporate giants that
frenzied “M & A” action creates typically, down the road a few years, go on to
spin off hefty chunks of their operations in sell-offs that generate still more
fortune for their top execs. The latest winner in this merge-and-purge shell
game: ConocoPhillips CEO Jim Mulva. Oil industry powerhouses Conoco and Phillips
Petroleum merged in 2002. The merged company is now planning to sell off its
refinery ops. The windfall for Mulva, Footnoted.com reported
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=vRuCVs3ERsMy5Wk0wmPj4r3maThdmbu%2F>
last week, may hit $360 million . . .
Apologists for grand fortune also enjoy arguing that the wealthy among us merit
their mega millions because they take risks. In China, the /Epoch Times/ reports
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=jeq0Pm48euXJCsy1mCa8bJJHs8a64WOw>,
getting rich may actually entail a serious bit of risk taking. Of the 72 Chinese
ultra rich who have died over the last eight years, the paper notes, 53 have
died from “unnatural causes.” Chinese multi-millionaires, in fact, are passing
on precipitously at nearly the same rate as Chinese police officers. Among the
“unnatural causes” behind mega millionaire passings: the death penalty. Fourteen
of China’s 53 most unfortunate holders of grand fortunes died after convictions
for offenses that ranged from embezzlement to serial rape. Suicides claimed 17
others, homicides 15, and accidents the final seven.

Stat of the Week
How adept at avoiding taxes have America’s top CEOs become? On paper, the
corporations they lead must pay a 35 percent federal income tax on their
profits, the second-highest corporate tax rate in the world. In real life, notes
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=9HSyn3kaS1YhRZugsyX3SZJHs8a64WOw>
a new Greenlining Institute report, major U.S. corporations are now only paying
18.4 percent of their domestic profits in tax. Of the world’s 26 major
industrial nations, only two collect less in corporate taxes, as a share of GDP,
than the United States.

IN FOCUS
Doing Debt Ceiling Battle the FDR Way
*At times of national fiscal crisis, President Franklin Roosevelt ever so firmly
believed, you don't give the awesomely affluent a free pass. You pound them —
and then you pound them some more.*
Against a Congress where zealously rich people-friendly conservatives hold the
upper hand, how much can a President of the United States committed to greater
equality realistically hope to accomplish?
The answer from today’s White House: not much. Advocacy for equality has to take
a backseat, Obama administration insiders insist, once fanatical friends of the
fortunate in Congress recklessly put at risk our nation’s full faith and credit.
But history offers another alternative. Back in 1943, halfway through World War
II, a President of the United States confronted a debt ceiling crisis eerily
similar to our own. That President, Franklin Roosevelt, faced a congressional
opposition to inconveniencing the rich — with higher taxes — every bit as rabid
as ours.
FDR's choice, in the face of this opposition? He doubled down on equality.
*Roosevelt’s debt ceiling battle* actually began in the months right after Pearl
Harbor. The nation needed dollars — and lots of them — to wage and win the new
war. FDR wanted those dollars raised as equitably as possible.
That would require, FDR and his New Dealers believed, a steeply graduated income
tax, with tax rates on income in the top income brackets much higher than rates
on income in the bottom brackets.
How high should the top rates go? All the way, FDR proposed, to 100 percent. At
a time of “grave national danger,” the President told Congress in April 1942,
“no American citizen ought to have a net income, after he has paid his taxes, of
more than $25,000 a year,“ an income just shy of $350,000 in today’s dollars.
*The year before*, gun executive Carl Swebilius had pulled in $243,204 after
taxes, the equivalent of over $3.7 million today. Steel exec Eugene Grace had
grabbed $522,537, over $8 million today, in 1941 salary. But conservatives in
Congress looked the other way. They never gave FDR’s plan any love.
Four months later, Roosevelt would try again. In his Labor Day message, FDR
repeated his $25,000 “supertax” income cap call. Again Congress ignored him.
FDR would not back down. In early October, the President flexed his authority
under the newly enacted Emergency Price Control Act and issued an executive
order that limited top corporate salaries to $25,000 after taxes, a move, he
pronounced, needed “to correct gross inequities and to provide for greater
equality in contributing to the war effort.”
*America’s wealthiest*, New Dealers explained afterwards to the press, “should
be willing to get along on more than $2,000 a month while marines endure
tortures on Guadalcanal Island for $60 a month and room and board.”
FDR’s executive order would infuriate conservatives. They saw red, literally.
The “only logical stopping place for this movement,” fumed Princeton economist
Harley Lutz, would be “a completely communistic equalization of incomes.” FDR’s
salary cap, roared New Bedford publisher Basil Brewer, just might “lose the war.”
In Congress, meanwhile, lawmakers vowed to kill FDR’s executive order by any
legislative means necessary. Roosevelt, in response, simply kept pushing. In
January 1943, he reminded Congress that “the receipt of very large net incomes
from any source constitutes a gross inequity undermining national unity” and
asked lawmakers to make taxes on America’s highest incomes “fully effective.”
*Roosevelt also asked Congress*, in his 1943 budget message, to raise the
nation’s debt ceiling. Conservatives indicated they would — if the ceiling bill
included a rider that repealed the President’s $25,000 salary cap executive order.
Lawmakers would not go along with a debt ceiling hike, California Republican
Bertrand Gearhart told reporters, until FDR's “thoroughly un-American” salary
cap, “fraught with such disaster to the Republic, is wiped from the books.”
At this point, no “realistic” observer could have faulted FDR if he simply threw
in the towel. The 1942 mid-term elections the previous November, after all, had
significantly strengthened the congressional conservative camp, in large part
because millions of New Deal voters — soldiers overseas and workers who had
migrated far from home for wartime factory work — couldn’t vote.
*But FDR threw in nothing*. To reporters and Congress, he reiterated his support
for the $25,000 salary cap. Of course, the President added, he would “rescind”
his cap in an instant if Congress passed legislation that limited all individual
after-tax income, not just salary, to $25,000.
And if Congress couldn’t see fit to go that far, the President helpfully
suggested, he hoped lawmakers would enact “steeply graduated rates” that brought
taxes on top-bracket income up to the 90 percent neighborhood.
Eventually, both the House and Senate would pass the debt ceiling bill — with
the salary cap repeal rider attached. Most Democrats went along, noting, as
Senator Alben Barkley put it, “the importance of increasing the debt limit.”
*Roosevelt well understood* that importance, too. He would let the higher debt
ceiling bill become law, without his signature. But FDR quickly signaled no
surrender in his continuing battle to make sure that “not a single war
millionaire will be created in this country as a result of the war disaster.”
Congress, Roosevelt pointed out, “had authorized the drafting of men into the
armed forces at $600 a year regardless of what they had earned in civilian
life,” but, with the salary cap repeal, had “refused to reduce the salary of a
man not drafted no matter how high his income might be.”
The President, to be sure, had definitely lost the debt ceiling battle over his
executive salary cap, as he no doubt knew he would. But sometimes a President
can win by “losing.” FDR did not prevail on the salary cap. He did prevail in
his far broader struggle to shape the wartime finance debate.
*Roosevelt's relentless* campaign to cap top incomes kept that debate focused on
taxing the rich. Conservatives didn’t want to do that taxing. They wanted a
national sales tax instead, as do many conservatives today
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ZKwqvcw970i0p3qC%2BqBtc73maThdmbu%2F>.
But FDR’s aggressive advocacy for equity never let that regressive sales tax
notion get traction.
The war revenue debate would be fought on Roosevelt's terms — not on whether to
tax the rich, but on how much. And, in the end, that “how much” would turn out
to be quite a great deal. By the war's end, America’s wealthy would be paying
taxes on income over $200,000 at a 94 percent statutory rate.
Americans making over $250,000 in 1944 — over $3.2 million today — paid 69
percent of their /total/ incomes in federal income tax, after exploiting every
tax loophole they could find. In 2007, by contrast, America’s 400 highest
earners paid just 18.1 percent
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=k2KbfuWR722iya2ieJhKi5JHs8a64WOw>
of their total incomes, after loopholes, in federal tax.
*None of the debt ceiling “deals”* that House and Senate leaders advanced last
week asked any of these top 400 — or any other rich Americans — to pay a penny
more in taxes than they do now. In the 2011 debt ceiling struggle, inequality
has clearly triumphed.
So what ought we learn, amid this triumph for greed, from FDR’s debt ceiling
battle? Maybe this: We really can have a more equal America. We just need to
fight for it.

In Review
The Wealth Gap's Great Recession Surge
Rakesh Kochhar, Richard Fry, and Paul Taylor, *Wealth Gaps Rise to Record Highs
Between Whites, Blacks, Hispanics. *Pew Research Center, July 26, 2011.
Has the Great Recession been an equal opportunity destroyer? Or have some
Americans survived the nation’s worst economic downturn since the 1930s
significantly better than others?
A new report
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=NcLKDUScxGu8j9qARCglQJJHs8a64WOw>
from the Pew Research Center, based on extensive Census Bureau survey work in
2005 and 2009, resolves these questions — on two fronts.
The first: ethnicity. The Pew data show that the Great Recession has widened the
wealth gap substantially between white and black and white and Hispanic households.
*In 2005, the typical* white household held seven times more wealth than the
typical Hispanic household and 11 times more than the typical African American
household. In 2009, these gaps stood around twice as wide, 18 times between
white and Hispanic households, 20 times between white and black.
The primary source of these growing wealth gaps between white and minority
households? The collapse of the housing bubble.
Minority households get much more of their net worth from the equity they hold
in their homes than white households. Geography exacerbates the gap: Hispanic
families reside disproportionately in the states — California, Florida, Nevada,
and Arizona — that have seen home values sink the fastest.
*But the new Pew report
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=fZFEvTCuQ2W6pVl%2FSQsCb73maThdmbu%2F>*
tells another story as well. The Great Recession hasn't just widened the wealth
gap /between/ ethnic groups. The recession, the Pew researchers note, has
widened the gap /within/ each ethnic group — grown that gap “in favor of the
wealthiest within each racial and ethnic group.”
The richest top 10 percent of white households have increased their share of
white household wealth, from 49 to 56 percent. For the richest 10 percent of
black, Hispanic, and Asian households, even heftier increases.
How much of that increasing wealth share for the top 10 percent have the really
rich — households in the top 1 percent — grabbed?
The Pew report can’t help us here, since Census surveys don't effectively track
wealth at America's economic summit. The best data on wealth at the top come
from the Federal Reserve’s triennial Survey of Consumer Finances
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=e1GD8s44pNYEvGzQkEyb45JHs8a64WOw>.
The next of these studies, covering 2010, won't be out until next winter.
