The Topic: Organized Labor and Expanding Democracy; The Prof.: Oren Levin-Waldman on Westchester On the Level - Wednesday, October 30, 2013 @ 10 a.m.
The assertion made by Professor Oren Levin-Waldman is succinct. He states, "It is foolhardy to believe that cutting programs as the Republicans suggest will simply reduce the deficit rather than be passed on to their cronies. But it is equally foolhardy to believe that raising taxes as the Democrats so often advocate will either be applied to reducing the deficit or to assisting the middle class. Taxing those at the top of the distribution does not reduce income inequality; rather boosting the incomes of those at the bottom does. This is because for income inequality to be reduced the percentage increase in wages at the bottom has to be higher than the percentage increase in wages at the top". The emotional topic is best distilled through conceptual logic. Join guest Prof. Oren-Waldman and host Hezi Aris as they engage in deciphering the issue on the "featured" BlogTalk Radio program, Westchester on The Level with Wednesday, October 20, 2013, from 10 - 11 a.m., thereafter, from 11 a.m. to 12 Noon, we focus on the Open Letter penned by Weschester County Concervative Party Chair High Fox, Jr., with respect to the upcoming Yonkers City Council President race. Also, the departure of Yonkers Deputy Mayor Sue Gerry, her replacement James Cavanaugh, and his questionale ties to the City of Yonkers as its consultant, Yonkers Parking Authority Board of Directors members, his recent marriage to Yonkers Planning Commissioner Wilson Kimball, and his disturbing conduct with Ms Kimball while Jim was President and CEO of the Battery Park City Authority in lower Manhattan, and Mr Cavanaugh's relationship as a "team member" of former NYS Senator Nick Spano's Empire Strategic Planning lobbying operation. At issue is whether the entire Yonkers waterfront development project once the exclusive domain of Struever Fidelco Cappelli over a 12-year period in which no new imprint took hold will be guided "without?" conflict of interest when these "cuplrits" have it all going on?
