Liberals and Global Greens are two ideologies in favor of progressive taxation. They differ in which ones they emphasize. Liberals tend to the first four (pit, ct, pt, and pt). Global Greens tend to emphasize the latter three (et, ct, cnt, lvt). Socialists, syndicalists, collectivists, and communists tend to favor the same taxes as liberals. ________________________________ From: Susan Maneck <[email protected]> To: Baha'i Studies <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, November 22, 2010 11:12:18 PM Subject: Re: Grave Influence The Baha'i Studies Listserv .

By Abdu'l-Baha's clear references to progressive taxation, to natural resources being held in common, by the basic Baha'i principle of the elimination of the extremes of poverty and wealth, by the Guardian's and the Houses clear criticisms of unbridled capitalism, and by the consistent statements from the Baha'i International Community defining justice in terms of social and economic equity. This is what constitutes basic morality in the Baha'i context, not simply charity. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-541679-1719008.2a3842ae5b2f7d34dd5fdfc724616...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-541845-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
