  • Loopholes for the Affluent Bankrupt
    Digital Commons at St. Mary's University Faculty Articles School of Law Faculty Scholarship 2020 Loopholes for the Affluent Bankrupt David R. Hague Follow this and additional works at: https://commons.stmarytx.edu/facarticles Part of the Bankruptcy Law Commons LOOPHOLES FOR THE AFFLUENT BANKRUPT DAVID R. HAGUEt [The] rich get richer [until] the poor get educated.' - Sage Francis INTRODUCTION Recent bankruptcy cases are exposing a problem. Affluent individuals filing for bankruptcy are treated more favorably under the Bankruptcy Code than those debtors with little to no means of financial sustenance or income. Did Congress intend this result? The legislative history is unclear. But one thing seems certain: The United States Bankruptcy Code contains a set of loopholes that appear to be designed for the well-to-do segment of society. Courts throughout the United States are either overlooking these provisions or simply condoning their utilization under the de- fensible conviction that the Bankruptcy Code permits it. In this Article, I argue that the Bankruptcy Code unfairly discriminates against individuals of lower-class economic status. Specifically, I identify two loopholes-one found in Chapter 7 and one located in Chapter 11-that are arguably intended to benefit those with high incomes and significant assets. Courts need to consider whether the use of these loopholes is permitted under the Code, and if so, how they should be addressed in individual bank- ruptcy cases. The Bankruptcy Code should create a level playing field for debtors-not an oasis for the affluent. Two scenarios demonstrate that the United States Bankruptcy Code favors those with higher incomes living lavish lifestyles.

  • Sage Francis: on Li(F)E, Old Age, and Selling Indie Rap
    Sage Francis: On Li(f)e, Old Age, and Selling Indie Rap Indie hip-hop and indie rock have always existed in seemingly parallel universes: on separate websites, in separate blogospheres, and on separate stages at the same festivals. Leave it to indie rap stalwart Sage Francis to help the two cross swords. On his fourth official solo album, entitled Li(f)e , Sage works with members of various rock groups, including Sparklehorse, Califone, Calexico, DeVotchKa, Death Cab for Cutie, and others, not to mention the fact that Iron & Wine/Modest Mouse associate Brian Deck produced the whole shebang. URB spoke to Sage about how the hell he pulled off this new LP, growing old in rap years, and how he plans to maintain his record label in an ever-weakening industry. URB: Bring me back a little. How’d you discover hip-hop? Sage Francis: Well, that was so long ago that I don’t remember, really. I have a story that I tell when people ask me that, that I think is true. It was just on the playground, tapes were floating around, I heard kids in the neighborhood playing stuff that I wasn’t familiar with—that I didn’t know was hip-hop at the time, but that’s what it was—and when eventually I decided I wanted to figure out what it was I was hearing, I was in my aunt’s house. I think it was a public service announcement came through on the television where a girl was rapping about not smoking cigarettes or something like that, and I had an adult present so I pointed it out, like, “This is what I want, I need to find this kind of music.” They didn’t really know what kind of music it was either, and my aunt kind of scowled her face and was like, “You like this?” And I was like “Yeah, this is what I like.
