Workers or Shirkers? Ian Hislop's Victorian Benefits

An entertaining, provocative film in which Ian explores the colourful history behind one of the most explosive issues of our times - welfare: who deserves to be helped, and who doesn't. [... ] all hate, no heart. just spreadsheets. at Whitehall, no 11. [...] Benefit Street = victorian freak show/circus of curiosities [...] writing about others, "othering" them. demonising them or putting them on pedestals, making them saints. [...] IDS "a single mother wo aspiration is a product of the system" would correct that, a product of her environment (society) [ie gentrification - poor living w poor door to door. and everyone is looking down on them.].

Video ""Nein sagen" reicht nicht - Vergewaltigungsopfer fordern neues Strafrecht" | Kontraste | ARD Mediathek

Wann wurde eine Frau vergewaltigt? Nur weil sie "Nein" sagt oder der Mann ihr die Kleider vom Leib reißt, gilt sie nach deutschem Strafrecht noch lange nicht als Opfer einer Vergewaltigung. Absurd, aber das Gesetz verlangt körperliche Gewalt und Gegenwehr. Angst zählt nicht - bis heute. Jetzt fordern Experten eine Reform des Vergewaltigungsparagraphen im Strafrecht. Kritiker warnen indes vor einem Anstieg der Falsch-Beschuldigungen.

Warum das Urteil zur Erbschaftsteuer einen Eishersteller ängstigt - SPIEGEL ONLINE

Weil diese Bevorzugung von Unternehmern gegenüber anderen Erben gegen den Gleichheitsgrundsatz verstoße, brachte der Bundesfinanzhof die Regelung vors Verfassungsgericht - und traf auf offene Ohren. "Sie fördern damit schlicht und einfach Großkapital", warf Richter Reinhard Gaier dem Finanzministerium mit Blick auf die Ausnahmen für Großkonzerne vor. Eisunternehmer Höhn sieht das natürlich anders. Wie jeder ordentliche Mittelstandsvertreter hegt er einen Groll gegen den Staat, der angeblich immer gieriger wird und zunehmend "sozialistische" Verhältnisse fördere. Doch der Blick ins Ausland zeigt: Deutschland langt bei der Erbschaftsteuer für Unternehmen keineswegs besonders stark hin. Die Belastung ist sogar deutlich geringer als im vermeintlichen Unternehmerparadies USA.

BBC News - Living Wage 'key' for tackling health inequalities

Changes to tax and benefit systems have more impact on health inequalities than changes to healthcare, new study found. Researchers said the introduction of a Living Wage and benefit increases made more difference than schemes to help lose weight or stop smoking. The study was carried out by the Scottish Public Health Observatory. It also concluded an increase in active travel - such as cycling to work - had a "minimally positive effect" on population health. Taxation on tobacco had a positive impact on health but made little difference to health inequalities, the study suggested. The gap between the health of the most and least affluent sections of Scottish society has widened since the 1970s, and is larger in Scotland than most of the rest of Europe. The Scot PHO report, called Informing investment to reduce health inequalities in Scotland, studied the impact of 11 policies over a 20-year period.

OECD moniert wachsende Ungleichheit zwischen Arm und Reich - SPIEGEL ONLINE

[ The Economic case for better equality ] - Die Ungleichheit in Deutschland hat sich laut OECD deutlich verschlimmert - und den Aufschwung gebremst. Eine gerechtere Sozialpolitik hätte demnach bis zu sechs Prozentpunkte mehr Wachstum möglich gemacht. [... ] Die OECD fordert die Politik zum Gegensteuern auf. "Unsere Analyse zeigt, dass wir nur auf starkes und dauerhaftes Wachstum zählen können, wenn wir der hohen und weiter steigenden Ungleichheit etwas entgegensetzen", sagte Generalsekretär Angel Gurria. "Der Kampf gegen Ungleichheit muss in das Zentrum der politischen Debatte rücken." [...] Eine Umverteilung von oben nach unten mittels Steuern und Transfers sei nicht zwangsläufig wachstumsschädlich, solange entsprechende Maßnahmen zielgenau angewandt werden, schreibt die Industrieorganisation. Eine solche Verteilungspolitik müsse sich vor allem auf Familien mit Kindern sowie auf junge Menschen konzentrieren und deren Lernchancen verbessern.

"Funding will be transferred to councils, but there will be no guarantee that the money will be used to support disabled people to live independently, or that former ILF users will receive the same levels of support, given the pressures on local authority finances." [...] The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has previously warned that closure of the fund will "result in loss of dignity and independence for many ILF recipients". It says that some 18,000 severely disabled people risk losing essential funding in breach of the UK's international commitments to support disabled people. ...

Current Austerity focus is running UK economy into the ground. Not towards the futures. Yes to cut waste. Yes to trim here and there. But there is no sight of investment into the future; ie pushing apprenticeships and industrial (STEM, research) practical skill set (dual college & university courses modelled after Germany), living wage, reduction on reliance on service sector and consumption. There is no inspiration. No future in his head. Just managing the status quo. Moving the pieces. Just like any other career politician. &! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30318870

Autumn Statement 2014: Osborne's Cuts 'Will See Public Spending Fall To Lowest Level In 80 Years'

Tony Dolphin, senior economist at the Institute for Public Policy and Research, warned that Osborne's planned cuts were "implausible". "Given the scale of cuts in the public sector, [the OBR] can only make its growth forecast add up by assuming that consumer demand is boosted by households taking on more debt - and at an unprecedented pace. "Extraordinarily, the OBR thinks that by 2019 the household sector will have a financial deficit twice as big as in 2007 and 2008 when the financial crisis hit. As result, the household debt-to-income ratio is forecast 2 rise beyond its pre-crisis peak 2 over 180%. "This is pretty implausible. If the next government tries 2 follow the deficit reduction path set out in the Autumn Statement, it can only succeed in the short-term because the household sector takes on debt @ a faster pace than it did before the financial crisis. [this warning was heeded some years ago alrdy that consumer&corp would have to take on debt to spend to keep GDP # up!!!]

BBC News - Long, long slog to mend public finances

So the job of mending the public finances is a long way from over. The best performing, big developed economy in the world - that's us by the way, as assessed by speed of GDP growth - is generating far less tax than expected. So this year, the Office for Budget Responsibility expects the harvest for the Exchequer from taxation to be £7.8bn less than it predicted in March. And by 2017-18, it says the shortfall will be an eye-watering £21bn. & the biggest shortfall, roughly half of it, is in income tax, which reflects the creation of lots of new low wage jobs & the absence of meaningful pay rises for millions. [...] reflecting a change in the structure of the economy, rather than a passing phenomenon. [AUSTERITY] The OBR calculates that spending per head in real terms in 2019/20 on the public sector minus health and schools would be £1,290, or 57% less than in 2009/10.

When people feel they're being mistreated, they lash out against people who are weaker than themselves, immigrants for example. What's happening here at the moment is really ugly.

"Die Umsonstkultur ist eine Täuschung, irgendjemand zahlt immer" [...] Lanier weise eindringlich "auf die Gefahren hin, die unserer offenen Gesellschaft drohen, wenn ihr die Macht der Gestaltung entzogen wird", heißt es in der Begründung des Stiftungsrats. Sein jüngstes Buch "Wem gehört die Zukunft" werde zu einem Appell, wachsam gegenüber Unfreiheit, Missbrauch und Überwachung zu sein. [...] Lanier kritisiert das Geschäftsmodell von Internetunternehmen wie Google und Facebook, die massenhaft persönliche Daten von Internetnutzern sammeln und die damit verbundene Reichweite für Werbung nutzen. Der Reichtum werde so in den Händen einiger weniger Unternehmer konzentriert, fürchtet Lanier, während die breite Mitte der Gesellschaft leer ausgeht. "Wir brauchen eine neue Art von Balance", sagte Lanier in Frankfurt.

Why Are Progressives Great at Morality, Terrible at Messaging? - YouTube

The All New Don't Think of an Elephant!: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate by George Lakoff: tax evasion - tax avoidance = those people are the scum, the benefits of a welfare state ... financing public resources (infrastructure investment) ... private depends on the public!!! if private takes active measures to not bear the fair and reasonable weight they can afford ... than the public, anything that is provided for everyone, can not exist as is. [... you have to understand framing. how to frame x issue ... in terms that it feels/impacts everyone. every rational being seeing the issue at hand ... thus frame it in a moral and fairness / speak to the Gerechtigkeitssinn ... moral ... public resources/utilities give you freedom !!! < welfare state - ie abortion issue, birth control, reproductive rights is also about individual freedom - sex ed is also about freedom, kids making up their own minds, granting them the freedom to think for themselves - and not get their parents view. ]

BBC News - George Osborne proposes two year benefits freeze

what will quickly become known as the "Google Tax" - a crackdown on what accountants and tax lawyers call the double Irish arrangement - a tax avoidance strategy that multinational corporations use to lower their corporate tax liability first used by Apple. + http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29411686 "It is hard without more detail to know what impact the move to tackle tax avoidance by large US tech firms will have. The US and Irish governments have already taken some moves to tackle the so-called "double Irish" arrangement. Treasury aides say that the move may raise a few hundred million pounds but more details will be given in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement. Just as appealing to the chancellor as the money, though, will be the headline - Osborne introduces "Google Tax"." + http://youtu.be/MC3llmhiHZg

Downward mobility: Lucy Mangan on the fall of the middle class - Telegraph

And all this is, according to many, only the beginning. The American economist Tyler Cowen recently set out his vision of the future in a book, Average Is Over. Cowen predicts that the middle class will disappear and we will split into the historically and globally more common and “natural” binary arrangement of haves and have-nots. [...] All the “low-hanging fruit”, as he puts it in a previous book, has been picked and consumed – that is, free land, world-changing inventions (electricity, telephones and cars) and educational reform that enabled a vast swath of hitherto unrealised potential among the population to be fulfilled. [...] According to Cowen, there will be a small elite – perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the population – who will still be able to add value to the increasingly sophisticated work computers can do. People who can do the few remaining skilled jobs that can’t be outsourced to distant, cheaper foreign competitors among a globalised workforce. ...

Gesellschaft der Angst: Heinz Budes Befund zu Arbeit und Leben - SPIEGEL ONLINE

"Man glaubt, in jedem Moment mit seinem ganzen Leben zur Disposition zu stehen." Der Mensch sieht sich heute also immer kurz vor seiner Abwicklung. Unabhängig übrigens von Job und Gehalt. Bude spricht von "prekärer Privilegiertheit". Jeder steht immer kurz davor, alles zu verlieren. Oder er glaubt es zumindest. Das Aufstiegsversprechen, so der Autor, sei der Exlusionsandrohung gewichen. "Man wird nicht durch eine positive, sondern durch eine negative Botschaft bei der Stange gehalten." +!+!+!+ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/10633708/Downward-mobility-Lucy-Mangan-on-the-fall-of-the-middle-class.html

Jürgen Trittin: Plädoyer für linke Reformen - SPIEGEL ONLINE

Heute ist es für viele Menschen, gerade wirtschaftlich Schwächere, schwer geworden, dem Begriff "Reform" etwas Gutes abzugewinnen. Viel zu oft war Reform ein Synonym für sozialen Rückschritt & Ausschluss aus der Gesellschaft. Reform heute ist neoliberal aufgeladen, es steht für Deregulierung, für weniger Sicherheit, mehr Armutsrisiko & weniger Demokratie. Diese reale Erfahrung hat die Angst vor Veränderung erhöht. So haben Konservative leichtes Spiel. Das Bittere ist: Für diese Diskreditierung von Veränderung, für die Umdeutung von Reform sind auch Regierungen der linken Mitte mitverantwortlich. Links reden, rechts wählen - das ist keine deutsche Marotte. Als Folge der Finanzkrise wurden in Europa erst einmal reihenweise konservative & wirtschaftsliberale Regierungen gewählt. Gerade dort, wo die Krise wirklich zugeschlagen hat, zeigte sich wieder einmal: Krisen sind keine guten Zeiten für eine Politik der linken Mitte.

Fairness: Warum der Mensch Gerechtigkeit will - SPIEGEL ONLINE

Das Gute in uns. Der Ökonom Ernst Fehr von der Universität Zürich führt seit einigen Jahren einen Kampf für die Anerkennung des Guten im Menschen. Vertrauen, Gerechtigkeitssinn und Mitgefühl sind in den Augen des Experimentalökonomen wichtige Bedingungen für Wohlstand und wirtschaftlichen Erfolg. So seien Menschen in Spielexperimenten bereit, eine Geldsumme mit einer anderen Person zu teilen, obwohl sie das eigentlich nicht machen müssten. Schwieriger allerdings werde es, wenn man eine Vierergruppe von Menschen anonym auffordert, Geld für eine Gemeinschaftsaufgabe zu geben - und ihnen die Möglichkeit lässt, nichts zu zahlen, aber trotzdem von dem Geld zu profitieren, das andere einzahlen. Ein Beispiel für ein solches Verhalten sind beispielsweise die Schwarzfahrer in der U-Bahn. So stellte Fehr fest: Schmarotzer gibt es leider immer. Vor allem, wenn die Experimente in Ländern gemacht werden, in denen Misswirtschaft und Korruption herrschen.
