Ok so Johnson apparently got lesser punishment than some others who were less famous. But I looked that case up: https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/227/308
That case involved multiple **********s, one of whom was underage. Seems that was the main reason for them getting a longer sentence than Johnson got. Twisting facts that much in the opening paragraph is always a bad sign.Last edited by Clegg; 06-01-2018, 04:33 PM.Comment

https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Mann+Act
I saw a special on Jack Johnson years ago. The Mann act was designed to prevent interstate transportation of women for prostitution. It was meant to protect women and girls from exploitation by pimps who sought to take them to another state and away from home. It was said in the show on Johnson that they used this law to harass him, because he liked to **** white chicks. That was a no-no for African American males in those days. Since the chick he was ****ing was a **********, and he sent for her from out of state, they had a legal case against him. And oh yeah, he was a black boxer who regularly KO'd white boxers in the Jim Crow days, so he was not well liked.Comment

you didn't address my point. he would have hit that number without doing anything. you could just as easily say he hit that number cause he deregulated the EPA or cause there was a full moon. it was going to happen no matter what because of the previous recovery policies under *****. there was nothing that could derail that progress barring an economic disaster so yes credit for no disasters but if you understand economies disasters don't happen overnight or even in a year or two.
as far as tax cuts and deregulation...thats just wrong and the last 40 years has settled that debate with clarity. you didn't post this part for some reason...average hourly earnings increased 8 cents. you got those at the top literally putting tens of millions in their pockets and you are talking about 8 cents? yes thank you now the average worker is economically secure! i got an extra 3 dollars a paycheck well now im economically secure! now they don't have to be subsidized by the government with welfare/food stamps(a common corporate ploy to increase profits by paying workers less) cause they got 3 dollars!
From 1973 to 2016, net productivity rose 73.7 percent, while the hourly pay of typical workers essentially stagnated—increasing only 12.5 percent over 43 years (after adjusting for inflation). This means that although Americans are working more productively than ever, the fruits of their labors have primarily accrued to those at the top and to corporate profits
Policymakers can help to grow wages by raising the minimum wage; updating overtime rules; strengthening rights to collective bargaining; regularizing undocumented workers; ending forced arbitration; securing workers’ access to sick leave and paid family leave; closing race and gender inequities; awarding government contracts only to firms that adhere to wage, health, and safety laws; and tackling workplace abuses such as misclassification and wage theft.
Policies that will not help to raise wages include individual or corporate tax cuts, austerity, increasing college or community college completion, deregulation, and policies aimed at increasing long-term growth.
tax cuts, austerity, and deregulation aka the last 40+ years(even under ********s). if it works it would have worked by now so i'm not sure what you mean by its easier to operate? its easier to pay your workers a low wage yes yes it is. thats the problem. so the tax cuts/deregulation had nothing to do with reaching low unemployment as it was on pace to reach that anyway and they certainly don't help with wage growth as i just proved or do you want to keep ****ing your head into a wall for 40 more years and see if we get a different result?Last edited by daggum; 06-01-2018, 04:45 PM.Comment
