The collective wealth of New York’s 120 billionaires jumped by $156.3 billion, or 30 percent, between mid-March of last year and this year, according to new data from Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies compiled by the Strong Economy For All Coalition, the Fund Excluded Workers Coalition and the Invest in Our New York campaign.
The $156.3 billion in pandemic profits of the state’s richest residents could cover the state’s projected $15 billion budget gap ten times over and still leave them wealthier than they were when the pandemic hit a year ago.

Reform COVID19's Inequality to Avoid RevolutionsPaul H. Carr
COVID19 amplifies inequality, increasing tensions between poor Blacks, Whites, Police, and Immigrants. Economically disadvantaged Blacks joined by Whites are taking to the streets to demand reform. Economic inequality contributed to the French Revolution and to our Civil War, with the most casualties in our history.
We need reform to prevent revolutions. Karl Marx’s wrote his 1847 Communist Manifesto in response the newly rich industrialist’s exploitation of the poor workers in England. During this time, author Charles Dickens, as a boy, had to work ten-hour shifts pasting labels on bottles to support this family, because his father was confined in Debtor’s Prison.
In 1917,Trotsky led the Communist Revolution in Russia that ousted the Tsars’ monarchy. In 1924 Stalin emerged as the leader of the USSR. After WWII, the US fought the Korean and Vietnam Wars to stop the Communists from overrunning the world.
The rich, miserly Scrooge in Charles Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” underwent a conversion to a generous person who celebrated Christmas. In contrast to the Communist revolution, this can be a metaphor for the rule of law that enabled the US to overcome worker exploitation. The US passed child, labor, and anti-trust laws that constrained the power of the rich industrialists.
Since the 1980s, hourly worker pay has not increased in proportion to inflation and increased productivity. This disparity is increasing economic inequality. Most of the increased productivity pay has gone to those with education beyond a bachelor’s degree.
The minimum federal pay of $7.25 per hour has not been increased for over a decade. To keep up with inflation and productivity increases, the minimum wage should be gradually advanced to $ 20 per hour. Recently the minimum wage in Washington, DC increased to $14 per hour.
The property tax that funds public schools results in poor neighborhoods having poor schools and rich neighborhoods having good schools. State, federal, and corporate funds are needed to keep poor kids from being locked into poverty. Our high tech civilization needs an educated workforce. Let’s educate our poor rather than import educated immigrants. We must also reform our tax structure and corporate policies.

Health Development Experiences in Haiti:
What can be learned from the past to
find a way forward?
JMAJ 54(1): 56–67, 2011
Richard G. WAMAI,*1 Colleen LARKIN*2
Abstract
Haiti’s history is marred by neo colonialism, structural violence, dictatorial politics, and severe natural disasters.
These social political and geo-ecological factors have played a strong role in shaping the country’s past and
current experiences in health and development. This paper overviews Haiti’s recent developments in health in
light of the country’s tragic and complex history and comments on the health impact of the 2010 earthquake. In
light of this information we draw some general conclusions and recommendations for going forward.
Key words Haiti, Development, Healthcare system, Earthquake, Politics
Introductory Background
Located in the Caribbean on the western third of
the island of Hispaniola which it shares with the
country of the Dominican Republic, Haiti has a
population of about 9 million (2009).1 Haiti is the
poorest country in the Western hemisphere and
suffers from extensive deforestation with only
3% of the country forested.2 When environ-
mental disasters occur, they have the ability to
affect large segments of the population as it is
estimated that the agricultural sector and infor-
mal sectors make up 96% of the working class.2
Between August and September of 2008 Haiti
was hit by four hurricanes, which heavily impacted
infrastructure, health and general economic pro-
duction.3 Before the hurricanes the projected
gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate for
2008 was 3.7% but this was scaled down to 1.3%
due to the effects of the hurricanes as well as high
food and oil prices.3 On January 12, 2010, the
country was devastated by the most powerful
earthquake in 200 years with a magnitude of 7.3.4
The devastation of the capital city Port au prince
has been incomprehensible.
According to the government of Haiti an esti-
mated 220,000 lost their lives and 300,000 were
injured.5 The economic damage and loses caused
by the quake are estimated to be about US$8
billion, equivalent to more than 120% of the
country’s 2009 GDP.6 Based on a method of esti-
mating damages and loss due to natural hazards
(DALA) developed three decades ago by the
United Nations Economic Commission for Latin
America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), no other
country has experienced such a ratio of damage
to GDP.6,7
Following the earthquake about 1.5 million
people were subjected to living in tents, exposed
to the elements and without access to basic social
services.6 HIV and tuberculosis were already a
major problem in Haiti prior to the earthquake.2
Now with an intensely weakened health care sys-
te.
Illegal immigration costs the taxpayers of California - which has th.docxrochellscroop
Illegal immigration costs the taxpayers of California - which has the highest number of illegal aliens nationwide - $10.5 billion a year for education, health care and incarceration, according to a study released yesterday.
A key finding of the report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) said the state's already struggling kindergarten-through-12th-grade education system spends $7.7 billion a year on children of illegal aliens, who constitute 15 percent of the student body.
The report also said the incarceration of convicted illegal aliens in state prisons and jails and uncompensated medical outlays for health care provided to illegal aliens each amounted to about $1.4 billion annually. The incarceration costs did not include judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes committed by illegal aliens that led to their incarceration.
"California's addiction to 'cheap' illegal-alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing enormous burdens on the state's shrinking middle-class tax base," said FAIR President Dan Stein.
"Most Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has become," he said.
California is estimated to be home to nearly 3 million illegal aliens.
Mr. Stein noted that state and local taxes paid by the unauthorized immigrant population go toward offsetting these costs, but do not match expenses. The total of such payments was estimated in the report to be about $1.6 billion per year.
He also said the total cost of illegal immigration to the state's taxpayers would be considerably higher if other cost areas, such as special English instruction, school meal programs or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal-alien workers were added into the equation.
Gerardo Gonzalez, director of the National Latino Research Center at California State at San Marcos, which compiles data on Hispanics, was critical of FAIR's report yesterday. He said FAIR's estimates did not measure some of the contributions that illegal aliens make to the state's economy.
"Beyond taxes, these workers' production and spending contribute to California's economy, especially the agricultural sector," he said, adding that both legal and illegal aliens are the "backbone" of the state's $28 billion-a-year agricultural industry.
In August, a similar study by the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, said U.S. households headed by illegal aliens used $26.3 billion in government services during 2002, but paid $16 billion in taxes, an annual cost to taxpayers of $10 billion.
The FAIR report focused on three specific program areas because those were the costs examined by researchers from the Urban Institute in 1994, Mr. Stein said. Looking at the costs of education, health care and incarceration for illegal aliens.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

IONY Pandemic Billionaire Profiteers

GREW $156 BILLION RICHER
DURING COVID PANDEMIC,
THEIR COLLECTIVE WEALTH
JUMPING BY 30% IN AYEAR
Gains of 120 Richest Residents Can Easily Absorb $7 Billion
In New StateTaxes Proposed by Legislature in Albany

BILLIONAIRE WEALTH
NEW YORK — The collective wealth of New York’s 120 billionaires jumped by $156.3 billion, or 30 percent,
between mid-March of last year and this year, according to new data from Americans for Tax Fairness and
the Institute for Policy Studies compiled by the Strong Economy For All Coalition, the Fund Excluded
Workers Coalition and the Invest in Our New York campaign.
The $156.3 billion in pandemic profits of the state’s richest residents could cover the state’s projected $15
billion budget gap ten times over and still leave them wealthier than they were when the pandemic hit a
year ago.1
It’s clear that the billionaire class in New York can easily absorb progressive taxes on income,
wealth and corporate profits recently proposed by lawmakers in Albany for inclusion in this year’s
state budget, due April 1.
Between March 18, 2020 — the rough start date of the pandemic shutdown, when most federal and state
economic restrictions were put in place — and March 17, 2021, the total net worth of New York billionaires
rose from $521.5 billion to $681.3 billion, based on this analysis of Forbes data, and also shown in the table
below.2, 3, 4
The explosive full-year gains cap a year of close attention to accelerating billionaire wealth during a period
of mass suffering, impoverishment and death. Last August, billionaire wealth in New York was up by $47.5
billion — about 10%; in October, it was up by December it was up $59.8 billion or 20%, and now it’s up a
full 30%, with $156 billion in wealth gains.
The private gain of New York billionaires contrasts sharply with the health and economic struggles that
average New Yorkers are facing because of the pandemic. Over the past year, some 1,716,775 state
residents fell ill with the coronavirus, 49,171 died from it and 4,901,492 New Yorkers lost jobs in the
accompanying recession.5, 6
Over a million jobs appear to be permanently lost, making up a full ten percent
of the state workforce.7
As New York billionaires ride out the crisis in luxury homes and vacation compounds on a rising tide of
wealth, the state’s working families struggle to keep their heads above water:
• 488,929 state residents were collecting unemployment, the week ended Jan. 9th, 2021
[U.S. Department of Labor]8
• 1,480,000 adult state residents, or 12%, reported going hungry over the past week, and another
510,000 reported that children were going hungry. [Center on Budget & Policy Priorities, CBPP,
Table 1]9

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers have received no income support during the pandemic. An August
2020 Make the Road NY survey showed that 98% of unemployed undocumented workers had not
received federal or state government economic assistance.11
Low-wage workers, people of color and women have suffered disproportionately in the combined
medical and economic crises because of long-standing racial and gender disparities.12, 13, 14

A SAMPLING OF SOME OF THE STATE’S
PROSPERING BILLIONAIRES
• Mike Bloomberg The richest person in the state — media baron, private fund manager, former New
York City mayor and presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg — got $11 billion richer and now sits atop
a $59 billion fortune.
• Stephen Schwarzman The wealth of Trump donor, coup backer and private equity billionaire
Stephen Schwarzman leapt by more than half, shooting up $8.5 billion to $23.9 billion.
• Key Lauder cosmetics members Five members of the Lauder cosmetics dynasty of New York
City are collectively worth $44.4 billion, their total wealth increasing by nearly 70%, or $18.3 billion.
• Chase Coleman III Billionaire hedge fund manager Chase Coleman III, a descendant of Peter
Stuyvesant who Bloomberg Markets called “as close as one gets to American aristocracy” enjoyed
an explosive 128.3% increase in wealth to $10.2 billion.16
The state legislature has recently taken strong initial steps towards recovery for the entire New York economy
by proposing new investments in education, higher education, housing, healthcare, lifesaving opioid
and overdose treatments and unemployment benefits for undocumented and recently incarcerated people
with $7 billion in recurring revenue, including new progressive taxes on high incomes, wealth and
corporate profits.
Our coalitions of hundreds of community groups, labor unions, advocacy and faith groups are calling on
Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie to assure this recurring
funding is included in the final budget, and to push for more in negotiations with Governor Cuomo before
April 1, including a full $3.5 billion for the excluded worker fund and unemployment benefits.
These investments will set New York on a new path, away from extreme inequality and towards a stronger,
fairer economy where all New Yorkers can prosper and thrive.

BILLIONAIRE WEALTH
NEW YORK — The collective wealth of New York’s 120 billionaires jumped by $156.3 billion, or 30 percent,
between mid-March of last year and this year, according to new data from Americans for Tax Fairness and
the Institute for Policy Studies compiled by the Strong Economy For All Coalition, the Fund Excluded
Workers Coalition and the Invest in Our New York campaign.
The $156.3 billion in pandemic profits of the state’s richest residents could cover the state’s projected $15
billion budget gap ten times over and still leave them wealthier than they were when the pandemic hit a
year ago.1
It’s clear that the billionaire class in New York can easily absorb progressive taxes on income,
wealth and corporate profits recently proposed by lawmakers in Albany for inclusion in this year’s
state budget, due April 1.
Between March 18, 2020 — the rough start date of the pandemic shutdown, when most federal and state
economic restrictions were put in place — and March 17, 2021, the total net worth of New York billionaires
rose from $521.5 billion to $681.3 billion, based on this analysis of Forbes data, and also shown in the table
below.2, 3, 4
The explosive full-year gains cap a year of close attention to accelerating billionaire wealth during a period
of mass suffering, impoverishment and death. Last August, billionaire wealth in New York was up by $47.5
billion — about 10%; in October, it was up by December it was up $59.8 billion or 20%, and now it’s up a
full 30%, with $156 billion in wealth gains.
The private gain of New York billionaires contrasts sharply with the health and economic struggles that
average New Yorkers are facing because of the pandemic. Over the past year, some 1,716,775 state
residents fell ill with the coronavirus, 49,171 died from it and 4,901,492 New Yorkers lost jobs in the
accompanying recession.5, 6
Over a million jobs appear to be permanently lost, making up a full ten percent
of the state workforce.7
As New York billionaires ride out the crisis in luxury homes and vacation compounds on a rising tide of
wealth, the state’s working families struggle to keep their heads above water:
• 488,929 state residents were collecting unemployment, the week ended Jan. 9th, 2021

• 1,480,000 adult state residents, or 12%, reported going hungry over the past week, and another
510,000 reported that children were going hungry. [Center on Budget & Policy Priorities, CBPP,
