That is how they avoid paying taxes ‘in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state’.

Are you saying corporations are not required to pay income taxes?

All taxes and other costs of production have to be passed on to the customers, or wages have to be lowered, or the workforce must be reduced.

If the business can't cover it's cost it can't stay in business.

The guide ORGANIZING FOR RACIAL EQUITY WITHIN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, wasn't put out by the John Birch Society. It was put out by 'RaceForward'.

A member of the Arizona Department of Housing sent me a link to 'RaceForward' to educate me on "Social Justice/ Racial Equity".

What about the jobs they don't want to do? You can't force a square peg into a circle

There have been multiple ‘red scares’ & hysteria in the United States. Nearly or all have coincided with civil rights movements. The most well known is likely the one culminating in the Army-McCarthy hearings. (where McCarthy was asked “Have you no decency?” & was left speechless)

Martin Luther King Jr. was labeled a communist, jailed, as was W.E.B. Du Bois & others.

As best I recall MLK was not jailed for any communist associations.

What your words miss is when we've had protracted civil rights disturbances since the late 1920s the Soviets and later the Russians have been involved.

I'm no fan of McCarthy but regarding the, "have you no decency" line. Fred Fischer had been a member, apparently for years, of a communist front group at Harvard Law.

Here's a little run down.
