Within the European Union there is no other case of a language spoken by so many millions of inhabitants which is not fully present in the majority of mass-market goods. For many products, Catalan is still the exception. The erroneous criteria of associating the importance and therefore the consideration of a language with the fact that it belongs to an independent state affects its status in all areas.
Everywhere in democratic and developed countries, linguistic communities with a volume of consumers similar to that of Catalan are always respected. There are no objective reasons to justify discriminatory treatment of Catalan consumers. Catalan consumers have exactly the same rights as any other European consumers and furthermore, their economic strength is often much higher than that of other linguistic communities that already have all products available in their language, and therefore production in Catalan is fully economically justifiable.
The presence of Catalan within products is one of the precepts included in what is called social responsibility. Labelling in Catalan is as much a part of responsible consumption as respect for the environment, the consumer's right to appropriate product information and the rights of workers involved in production. If a company has a public commitment to act according to a code of ethics by which it takes into account the communities where it operates, or if it is committed to not showing racist or discriminatory attitudes for cultural or social reasons, then it should label in Catalan at least essential information for all its mass-market products distributed in Catalan territory.

Major telecommunications companies are spending millions lobbying the U.S. congress to make the Internet into a private network. In political lingo this mean abandoning what is called "Net Neutrality". In common sense terms it's about the government withdrawing our right to Internet Freedom. This V-Doc. (viral documentary) is about the current threat to Internet Freedom and how we can hold on to the open Internet and our right to communicate.
The only way the telecommunications companies will be successful is if we fail to raise awareness about this situation. If people find out about the fact that we are about to lose our Internet freedom there is no way they will allow congress to do this.
This congressional decision will set a monumental precedent, and thus, impact not just U.S. citizens, but citizens all over world.

Former General Motors Chairman and CEO discusses the effects national and state fuel economy standards are having on the automobile industry.
-----
General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner speaks at an event hosted by The Commonwealth Club of California titled Can GM Really Be Green Motors?
General Motors will bring 16 new hybrids to market in the next few years, including a futuristic plug-in. Has the world's largest car maker turned the corner on climate change?
The Detroit automaker still doesn't like some of California's environmental laws, but it now recognizes that climate change is a real problem to be solved. The answer, Wagoner says, is to diversify fuel sources to include ethanol, hybrids and one day even hydrogen - The Commonwealth Club of California

Obama wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax "for purposes of fairness", even if we collect less money and run up more debt that China will buy up. This goes contrary to what he was saying about the "Bank of China Credit Card", and the part about paying down "some of this debt".
We will never be able to pay down our debt as long as Politicians know that they are able to spend money on the people in return for votes and do favors for Corporations in return for money making opportunities when they leave office.
I know he says that these are the kind of things that he will change, that part would be great, I just don't like all of the liberal policy changes and laws he would be making, like taking my guns away, free abortions for anyone any age any reason no parental consent or even notification, letting Iran have Iraq, raising taxes on the "Wealthy", and just his general philosophy that government is the answer to almost all of our problems.
I don't think he's a bad man, I just think that he will be bad for America.
Obama Pushes for Higher Investment Taxes
September 19, 2007 03:02 PM ET | James Pethokoukis
As part of his "Tax Fairness for the Middle Class" plan, Barack Obama is in favor of nearly doubling the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to 28 percent. Leaving the fairness issue aside for a moment—as well as the impact of higher taxes on economic growth—the Obama plan could also be called a "Ways in Which government Can Collect More Taxes to Pay for New Spending" plan, since Democratic candidates are all scrambling to figure out ways to plausibly pay for new healthcare, education, and infrastructure spending if elected.
But Dan Clifton over at Strategas Research thinks the Dems may be disappointed by the ROT—return on taxes—from higher cap-gains rates. After reviewing the connections between changing cap-gains rates and government revenue during the past five decades, he concludes that higher cap gains could well be a revenue loser for Uncle Sam.
We examined the impact of capital-gains tax rates on investors realizing their gains. As the tax rate increases, investors hold their gains to avoid paying the higher tax. Conversely, lowering the capital-gains tax rate spurs realizations. Interestingly, the 1986 Tax Reform Act increased the capital-gains tax rate from 20 to 28 percent, but investors were given roughly three months before the tax increase was enacted into law. In turn, investors rushed to realize their gains before the higher tax rate kicked in, and capital-gains realizations remained depressed for nearly a decade thereafter with the higher tax rate in place.... Therefore, proposals to raise tax revenue from capital-gains tax increases will be scored as a net revenue gain to pay for new spending, but in reality, the tax revenue may not materialize, which will force tax increases elsewhere to pay for spending.

It is amazing to watch the supporters of Barack Obama join this frenzy of hype that surrounds his candidacy. One area that they overlook is his proposed financial irresponsibility. He has already proposed over 1 trillion dollars in new government spending. The same government that bankrupted Social Security and Medicare is now all of a suddent going to be magically transformed because of Barack Obama. Best selling author, syndicated radio talk show host, and Fox Business' Dave Ramsey talks about track record instead of just words and speeches.
