Communism and State Ownership of Intellectual Property

Tweet This: http://goo.gl/BcA6ru Government As a Secret Society The response to my informal suggestion that public accessibility to government could be improved by making information available in a searchable data base ( see previous post) subjectively confirmed that the  functioning power elite of Maine's economic development programs and policies are both intentional in instituting a political ideology that supersedes the will of the people, as expressed in the Maine State Constitution, and deceptive towards the general public. 1.Information made available on an agency website but not in a searchable database format may not provide the research and investigative tool needed by the public. The Freedom of Access Act does not require that public information be posted online in any particular format, just that public records be made available. While there is a strong argument for increasing the accessibility and usefulness of information, there is no current...

The Growth of State Capitalism Via State Incubators in the USA

TWEET THIS http://goo.gl/duRkRb Earnings on Investments: the Maine Micro-enterprise Initiative A few posts I ago I wrote about the Maine Micro enterprise Initiative , a state program that distributes funds to non-profit organizations to train micro-enterprise employees. Upon reading said statute, the question arose as to whether the funds granted to a non profit organization, previously written about here , were appropriated through the micro enterprise initiative. In search of an answer I submitted this Freedom Of Access Request to Mr Douglas Ray, the legislative liaison for the Maine department of Economic and Community Development: Subject: Freedom Of Access Request RE:§13063-O. Micro enterprise initiative fund program review I am formally requesting a copy of all the records kept pursuant to §13063-O.

The Mystery Of TideSmart Global Stimulus Funding and the Vanishing Media Coverage

Tweet This ! http://goo.gl/go3c1W A while back in the post Maine State Enterprises VS The MicroEconomy , I introduced gubernatorial hopeful Steve Woods, and his advocacy for relocating the inhabitants of 108 Maine towns to urban centers. Mr Woods reasoned that the 108 towns were not contributing their fair share to Maine's economy. As reported recently in the news, China also has a rural relocation plan to ultimately relocate 450 million rural inhabitants to urban centers. China is buying the co-operation of the inhabitants with a free apartments and money, where as Mt Woods is advocating that the inhabitants should be more or less starved our of their homes by depriving said communities of state funds for infrastructure and transportation to remote areas. I illustrated the disconnect of Mr Wood's selective statistics by pointing our that most of the stimulus funding had gone to urban centers in Southern Maine with Augusta getting about 38% of the take- enabling August...

I am taking a short break  from my story line to report of several other issues of import. the first being the new accounting method which the government has devised to calculate increases in the cost of living. Based on this new accounting devise alone, The government can now report that the rate of increase in the  cost of living is on the decline. The new method is call Chained Consumer Price Index.  It is in the newly proposed budget for Maine but I believe that the source is the federal government: Title 36: TAXATION  Part 8: INCOME TAXES  Chapter 841: INFLATION ADJUSTMENTS  §5402. Definition s This Part suspends the inflation adjustment for income tax brackets for tax year beginning in 2014 and 2015 and provides that the inflation adjustment calculation for tax years beginning after 2015 must be based on the Chained Consumer Price Index instead of the Consumer Price Index Here is my layman's analysis based on this article: Measu...
