The disabled are America’ largest minority. Yet the law does not treat this minority as it does those minorities that matter, by placing it in a protected class and affording adverse circumstances with heightened scrutiny.
If, as the law of the land holds, money is speech, we disabled are often paying through our taxes for a system which, so far as I have been able to learn, has never had a landmark disability civil rights court case comparable to the racial minority rights case, Brown vs. Board of Education. The racial rights case was badly needed, but ours is overdue.
Previous posts document silencing, shunning, tolerated efforts to demean and degrade, medical discrimination, and double standards across the board. We have exactly the same rights as the other minorities do, but by the compelled speech of our legally mandated taxes, we are forced to support a system which treats us as second class citizens.
Below is a copy of an article on tax money as compelled political speech;
To our Court: Our taxes constitute un-Constitutional compelled speech
“Money is speech.”
Under this unsupportable rule-by-judges dogma, because of tax mandated by law:
I am “speaking” Trump, though I and eleven million of my fellow Americans voted for someone else (three million more for email Benghazi Hillary, eight million for the green or Sanders contingents).
I am “speaking” concentration camps for poor innocent children separated from their parents, although even the Nazis never did that.
I am “speaking” deficit-financed tax cuts for the one percent, which will oppress our children with catastrophic trillion dollar debts.
I am “speaking” not “government of the people, by the people, for the people” — the first Republican President’s mantra — but government of the heartless rich, by the filthy rich, for the treasonous rich.
I am “speaking” not “all are created equal,” but rich white preppies born to wealth, privilege, and court clerkships shall be protected by the Senate Judicial Committee, by Mitch McConnell, and the FBI — all supported by The People’s tax dollars — not only from consequences of sexual assault for which thousands of lower class adolescent males are now languishing in adult detention facilities, but even from having their mocking abuse of young women brought to the _attention_ of the American people.
Wherefore:
That portion of my public taxes which “speaks” what I oppose with all my heart shall under NO circumstances represent what the Founders decried as “taxation without representation.”
Those taxes which constitute un-Constitutional compelled speech shall be sequestered. Neither I nor any other citizen of the land of the free shall be compelled to pay taxes for a cause which shocks the conscience.
It’s a free country.
