    New Taxes and the American States: The Social Origins of Fiscal Citizenship Debates, 1945-1970 By Elizabeth West Pearson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Margaret M. Weir, Chair Professor Marion Fourcade-Gourinchas Professor Kim Voss Professor Robin L. Einhorn Summer 2015 Abstract New Taxes and the American States: The Social Origins of Fiscal Citizenship Debates, 1945-1970 By Elizabeth West Pearson Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Margaret Weir, Chair Scholars have documented that a new type of fiscal compact took hold in the United States during the twentieth century as taxpayers supported progressive taxation on incomes in exchange for public investments by government aimed at securing widespread prosperity. Yet by focusing primarily on the national level, existing literature examining the link between tax structure and social policy in the United States has missed a key element of American fiscal exceptionalism. By moving to the state level, my analysis finds that very different fiscal bargains, or models of “fiscal citizenship,” developed across the American states between the late 1940s and early 1970s, in many cases dramatically departing from the national model. Indeed, in some states, taxes were understood not as a way to underwrite progressive investments but rather as a means to force groups “escaping” taxation to contribute more toward the cost of government, as a way of preserving an exclusionary social order, or as a tool for purchasing autonomy from federal intervention.

  • Point As Actors Are Constantly Representing, Or Punctuating in Various Ways, Their Ethnical Backgrounds
    0 August 7, 1978 Congressman Abraham Kazen Congress of the United States 2411 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Sir: I am writing you about a matter that I think definitely needs some serious heedful attention and probable action. This is a matter of exploitation that has gone untouched or undetected long enough. I am referring to the Mexican Americans and the bias exposure they are faced with in today's television and motion picture medies. I am looking for a means to help eradicate past gross injustices that have been perpetrated against the Chicano conmur ties. Is tnere ally way possible to attain positive image recognition for this ethnic races In reference to today's televising and theater viewing it is evident that minorities from all ranks of society are focused and expanded upon with the exeep- tion of the Mexican Americ an or the Mexican in general. This is a very lucid point as actors are constantly representing, or punctuating in various ways, their ethnical backgrounds. This fact of representation is normally conveyed to the public via pedigree related pictures in the background of the screening plays, names inferring their own descent, or simply making reference to their native land. For distinctive examples of this practice Puerto Ricans constantly use the word Puerto Rico in phrases of their speech, Italians almo st always use Italian resonant names plus highly demonstrating their cultural foods, and Blacks immed- erately verbalize Black oriented jokes. This in the eyes of many is the way the mass and television media purport these individuals.

  • The Untold Story of the State Filibuster: the History and Potential of a Neglected Parliamentary Device
    THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE STATE FILIBUSTER: THE HISTORY AND POTENTIAL OF A NEGLECTED PARLIAMENTARY DEVICE KYLE GROSSMAN* I. INTRODUCTION On June 25, 2013, as Texas State Senator Wendy Davis prepared to launch her now-famous filibuster, the Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder invalidated Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act (“VRA”),1 a crucial part of one of the most successful civil rights statutes ever enacted. This Note takes these two seemingly unrelated events as its starting and ending points. While the federal filibuster is a familiar procedural device, Davis’s effort shone a light on its underexamined state equivalent.2 The invalidation of Section 4 of the VRA also turned attention to the states, this time in the form of alarm bells warning of the need for state-level remedial measures to protect voting rights. This Note links those events together by recovering the history of the state filibuster to reveal how it may—and I argue, should—be used to mitigate the impact of Shelby County. * * * At the end of a special legislative session called by Texas Governor *. Class of 2015, University of Southern California Gould School of Law; B.A. (History), Pomona College. 1. Shelby Cnty. v. Holder, 133 S. Ct. 2612, 2615 (2013). 2. Out of ease of expression, I will refer to filibusters in state senates as “state filibusters” and filibusters in the U.S. Senate as “Senate filibusters.” By “filibuster,” I mean efforts to talk a bill to death, which is its most common usage. “Filibuster” can also mean any dilatory tactic used in a legislative body, but for the purposes of this Note, I use the term in its more narrow sense.
