"Until 1950, pay-roll taxes claimed only 2% of income. By 1990, they exceeded 15%. Over that same time period, while individual income taxes consistently accounted for between 40% and 45% of total federal revenues, pay-roll taxes rose from an 11% share to a 37% share. Corporate income taxes, conversely, fell from 27% of federal revenue to just 9%." --- Oren Cass 2018 _The Once and Future Worker: A Vision for the ReNewal of Work in the USA_ pg163 Tax Policy Center |

"Also, the knowledge transfer [i.e. intellectual property theft, robbery, extortion] after the project is [otherwise] concluded is a key issue that many companies often do not consider. It is one thing to get a project completed, but if the best expertise on the subject leaves your organization as a result, the firm hasn't expanded its intellectual capital. Consultants should recognize this [evil desire of the bodyshopper/clients] from the get-go and design [a means for being paid compensation for this intellectual property] into all projects." --- Marion McGovern 2017 _Thriving in the Gig Economy: How to Capitalize and Compete in the New World of Work_ pg71 |
"Scots and Ulster Scots immigrants had created the first American frontier along the eastern slopes of the Appalachians and Alleghenies. After the American Revolution, their descendants helped to extend and govern the result -- Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun, James K. Polk, Jim Bowie, Daniel Boone, William Clark (of the Lewis and Clark expedition), Sam Houston, and general Winfield Scott, whose grand-father fought at Culloden. Then, in the first decades of the 19th century, a second, much larger wave of emigration left Scotland for the United States, this time including numbers of skilled workers from the Lowlands, as well as impoverished Highlanders fleeing the clearances and the great cholera epidemic." --- Arthur Herman 2001 _How the Scots Invented the Modern World_ pg334 |

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.
