At the bottom of the list was George Soros whose wealth declined by $2.2 billion. Soros’s decline is likely the result of the fact that he continues to transfer huge quantities of wealth to The Open Society Foundations.

    October 10, 2019 Scott Scheele, Esq. Chief, Telecommunications and Broadband Section Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice 450 Fifth Street NW, Suite 7000 Washington, DC 20530 Re: United States v. Deutsche Telekom AG, et al., No. 1:19-cv-02232-TJK TUNNEY ACT COMMENTS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS WORKERS OF AMERICA Introduction. The proposed Final Judgment (“PFJ”) violates a number of clearly articulated Antitrust Division policies on merger remedies. These policies, incorporated in current policy guidance documents and in speeches by Division officials, are aimed at ensuring that antitrust remedies are appropriate, effective and principled. The remedy here satisfies none of these goals. The Division has not articulated any reasons, let alone principled reasons, why it has turned its back on its own merger remedy policies in this case, many of which are long-standing and represent sound antitrust enforcement. The Division has recently and successfully asserted a number of its merger remedy policies in litigated cases as a basis for rejecting proposed fixes to anticompetitive mergers, including one in which the proposed divestiture package did not include the network necessary for the buyer successfully to compete. That has particular relevance here. Judged from the standpoint of the competitive harm alleged in the Complaint, the divestiture assets do not restore the competition lost by the elimination of Sprint as an independent competitor under the theories of harm alleged in the complaint and in the product market alleged in the complaint. The divestitures create a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”), but the theories of harm and market definition treat competition from MVNOs as de minimis.

  • Phony Philanthropy of the Walmart Heirs
    Legal Disclaimer: UFCW and OUR Walmart have the purpose of helping Wal-Mart employees as individuals or groups in their dealings with Wal-Mart over labor rights and standards and their efforts to have Wal-Mart publically commit to adhering to labor rights and standards. UFCW and OUR Walmart have no intent to have Walmart recognize or bargain with UFCW or OUR Walmart as the representative of Walmart employees. Walmart1Percent.Org WALTON FAMILY “PHILANTHROPY”: A Distraction from the Walmart Economy Americans believe in the power of charitable giving. Eighty-eight percent of American households give to charity, contributing more than $2,000 per year on average.1 Despite their charitable inclinations, most American families, acting on their own, lack the financial resources to make a significant impact on the problems facing our society. The Walton family, majority owner of Walmart, is a notable exception. As members of the richest family in the United States, the Waltons have $140 billion at their disposal—enough wealth to make a positive mark on the world and still leave a fortune for their descendants. The Waltons certainly wish to be seen as a force for good. Their company claims to help people “live better” and the Walton Family Foundation mission statement speaks of “creating opportunity so that individuals and communities can live better in today’s world.”2 But that mission statement seems ironic, given that many of the most acute challenges facing American families in 2014 could rightfully be viewed as symptoms of our “Walmart economy,” characterized by rising inequality and economic insecurity.

  • Charter Lobby Group Details Contributions
    FOLLOWING THE MONEY Charter lobby group details contributions Walmart and venture capitalists lead donors Walt-Mart billionaire Alice Walton, the Mass High Technology Council and managing partners at Bain Capital are among the deep pockets behind the ballot campaign to increase the number of Commonwealth charter schools in Massachusetts, according to figures recently filed with the state Office of Campaign Finance. The lobby group, Committee for Public Charter Schools, led by former Board of Education chairman James Peyser, raised close to $390,000 from only 36 donors as part of its effort to put a question on the November 2010 ballot to lift the cap on Commonwealth charters. Almost all of the money was spent for gathering signatures. The lobby group paid a Brookline-based company, SpoonWorks, $325,000 for gathering 72,641 certified signatures, which works out to $4.47 per name. Peyser has said the lobby group will not pursue its ballot question because the legislature delivered virtually everything the group had sought in the recently enacted education bill. Peyser’s group used their ballot initiative as a threat in pushing its agenda with legislative leaders who acquiesced on every significant issue. But the group could still go forward, since the requisite number of signatures has been certified by the Secretary of State. Of particular interest to Peyser is a provision in the ed bill that, for the first time, allows companies to run networks or chains of charter schools under a single board of trustees. Peyser earns six figures a year as an executive with a capital formation group, NewSchools Venture Fund, that underwrites the start up of those very chains of charter schools.

  • 3 Billionaires in Indiana See Net Worth Jump $2.3 Billion Or 17.2% in First Three Months of COVID-19 Pandemic
    EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE ON JULY 15, 2020 AT 12:00 AM 3 Billionaires in Indiana See Net Worth Jump $2.3 Billion or 17.2% in First Three Months of COVID-19 Pandemic Meanwhile State & Local Government Services Face Deep Cuts as Congress Stalls on New COVID-19 Financial Aid Package WASHINGTON—Indiana has 3 billionaires who collectively saw their wealth increase by $2.3 billion or 17.2% during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic even as the state’s economy was reeling from a huge spike in joblessness and a collapse in taxes collected, a new report by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) and Health Care for America Now (HCAN) shows. Between March 18—the rough start date of the pandemic shutdown, when most federal and state economic restrictions were in place—and June 17, the total net worth of the state’s 3 billionaires rose from $13.5 billion to $15.8 billion, based on an analysis of Forbes data. Forbes’ annual billionaires report was published March 18, 2020, and the most recent real-time data was collected June 17 from the Forbes website. This $2.3 billion increase in wealth is 60% of the projected $3.7 billion state revenue shortfall in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 combined due to the ​ ​ pandemic. Two Indiana billionaires—Carl Cook and Herb Simon—saw their wealth grow by 26% and 11%, respectively, during the pandemic while 741,000 of the state’s residents lost their jobs, 41,000 ​ ​ fell ill with the virus and 2,500 died from it.

  • Alpha: Labor Is the New Capital
    Nov. 19 - Dear Ostrom Workshop readers: I’m so grateful for the opportunity to present at the Workshop. This paper is still in its early stages. I’m still working through the argu- ments, and, having presented the paper twice (first, two weeks ago, and again just today) it’s clear to me that it will be two papers. Also it’s clear that I still have a lot of work ahead of me. So thanks in ad- vance for your willingness to read a very rough draft. But I much pre- fer presenting work at a stage when I can actually still make funda- mental changes to the paper. The first paper (the first half of this draft) will argue that “alpha” is a useful third category of income in addition to labor and capital, that “alpha” best accounts for the rise of U.S. income inequality, and that “alpha” is often taxed at low capital gains rates. The second paper (the second half of this draft) will set forth a nor- mative theory of capital income taxation, with a uniform rate struc- ture from whatever source derived. This is really where the tax litera- ture began 100 years ago. But the literature has moved away from uniformity over the last fifty years, towards exemption of capital in- come. The facts on the ground suggest to me that we ought to move back to basics. Finally, a note on the background of this project. This draft was pre- pared for Tax Law Review symposium on tax and entrepreneurship. It consolidates a lot of my prior work on the tax treatment of private equity and venture capital.

Between March 18—the rough start date of the pandemic shutdown, when most federal and ​ ​ state economic restrictions were put in place—and Jan. 29, the total net worth of Montana ​ billionaires rose from $12.9 billion to $13.8 billion, based on this analysis of Forbes data, and ​ ​ also shown in the table below.1 ​ The private gain of Montana billionaires contrasts sharply with the health and economic struggles that average Montanans are facing because of the pandemic. Over those same tough 10 months, some 92,934 state residents fell ill with the coronavirus, 1,210 died from it and ​ ​ 200,669 lost jobs in the accompanying recession. ​ ​ While federal lawmakers debate more cash payments to people and families in the next relief package, the state’s four billionaires have amassed enough new wealth during the pandemic, a $900 million surge, to send every one of the state’s 1,068,778 residents a relief check of roughly ​ ​ $870 each.
