AOC Leads 110 Representatives Demanding a Living Wage for Congressional Staff Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) is the lead signer of a letter from 110 representatives to the House Appropriations Committee requesting bigger budgets for their offices. The representatives are asking for more money so they can pay their staff fairer wages, allowing them to afford to live in the expensive Washington, D.C. area. “For years, pay and benefits for the staff of Member offices, leadership offices, and committees have fallen farther and farther behind what is offered in the private sector,” the letter reads. “At the same time, the cost of living here in our nation’s capital has risen substantially, placing opportunities such as homeownership, rental housing, and childcare out of reach for many.” By Sharon Zhang
What’s the Difference Between a Waitress and a Private Equity Partner? (Their Tax Rate) If the waitress works in an upscale restaurant and earns a decent living, there is a good chance that she is paying a higher tax rate than a private equity partner. The reason is that private equity (PE) partners get most of their pay in the form of “carried interest.” This is money that is paid to them as a share of the returns on the money they manage. Since private equity partners are rich and powerful, their carried interest payments are taxed at the capital gains tax rate of 20 percent, instead of the 37 percent top tax rate that people earning millions a year would be paying.

Civil Rights/Black Liberation:
Murder of Winston Smith and Future of George Floyd Square – State Violence Continues in Minneapolis The murder of Winston Smith and the attempted reopening of George Floyd Square show that the state has no interest in stopping its violence. Just over a month ago, former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd. The verdict came days after another former police officer, Kim Potter, shot and killed Daunte Wright. The state and mainstream media did an excellent job portraying Chauvin as a bad apple when in reality he was a sacrificial lamb being sacrificed to protect the racist-capitalist power structures. Chauvin hasn’t even been sentenced yet. But as the National Guard went home and the razor wire fences came down, Minneapolis leaders decided that enough time had been wasted on honoring George Floyd’s memory. By Adnan Ahmed
