Do You Want The Federal Government To Have The Power To Limit Your Annual Income?

Disparity in income levels seems to be a strong theme in politics today. Many people think it’s unfair that some corporate CEOs get millions in salaries and bonuses. They want limits or caps on corporate salaries.
Do we really want a government that has the power to dictate business policy? Once the federal government takes one step into HR matters, do you really think they would stop at limiting income levels just at the top of the ladder?
The private control of wealth is the basis of our liberty and freedom in the USA. Salary levels are a mtter of concern for the private individuals. In corporate America, it is decided by the stockholders and the directors, not the government.
Creating annual income caps even on a few Americans creates an income cap on all Americans. Do you want a government that dictates just how wealthy you are allowed to become?

The Mexican Government Is Giving Its Consulates In The U.s. Wide Latitude To Ramp Up A Campaign What Is This?

The Mexican government is giving its consulates in the U.S. wide latitude to ramp up a campaign to toughen their defense of immigrants and plans to give them more resources as well, officials familiar with the strategy said.The move comes as deportations reach an all-time high in the toughest crackdown in decades by the U.S. government and police authorities.
Among the actions under discussion are the creation of an anti-defamation league similar to that focused on protecting Jews; budget increases for some of the 47 consulates, especially in regions such as North Texas, where Mexican migration has been swift and plentiful; and a media campaign aimed at counteracting groups opposed to illegal immigration and sometimes legal immigration.
The effort underscores the tension in U.S. communities grappling with problems created by illegal immigration. And it is sure to further incense groups demanding a crackdown on immigration, both legal and illegal.
“Our fight is no longer inside the Beltway,” said one senior Mexican official, who agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity. “We have been forced to change our strategy.”
But Jean Towell, president of Dallas-based Citizens for Immigration Reform, called the move “arrogant,” saying that the Mexican government does not “have the right to meddle in our affairs.”
“They have come out before saying it is wrong for us to meddle in Mexico’s affairs,” she said. “They are losing human capital. It would be better if they provided the right kind of incentives to keep their people there. It is a no-brainer.”
Mexican government officials gave few additional details about the plan but said it would cover 11 million first-generation citizens, half of whom live in an “irregular migratory situation.”
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, said the plan “is guaranteed to backfire.”
“They may feel that if they want an amnesty, they have to try,” he said. But “they are going to be directly engaging in American politics. That is something American consuls would be deported for.”
Mr. Krikorian said he was surprised by the new approach because Mexico’s U.S. ambassador, Arturo Sarukkhán, usually chooses his words so carefully.
Mr. Sarukkhán could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.
