As corporate profits reach record levels their effective tax rates decrease
The Right and many pundits say when the economy works right everyone benefits and it's natural for some who are particularly useful in the economy to grow richer and richer and richer. Now there are individuals and corporations who/which are extremely wealthy, yet the rules are rigged to help them by lowering their tax rates. Why would that be? Are they employing all the unemployed and under-employed? Are they using some of their tremendous revenues to pay workers more for their greater productivity?
Low-wage workers on federal contracts keep up pressure with third strike

Speaker of the House John Boehner on his legacy fair to all protected
If John Boehner wants to be fair he could let Democrats participate by bringing up bills which have support from a majority of the House, including Democrats. Then maybe we could (at least) get the Republicans on the record about important issues to America, like wage levels.
How can Boehner be Speaker of the (whole) House when he won't let Dems bring up bills until the Republican caucus agrees?
How can anyone say the economy is working when so many are earning so little? Is that fair?
