There is the most hilarious six-minute video. We're not gonna play the
whole thing for you, but a bunch of employees of the New York Times are
just fit to be tied that that Little Pinch wants to change their pension plan
on 'em. The New York Times right now has a "defined benefit plan” which
basically is what General Motors used to have and what a lot of big
companies used to have until they found out they couldn't afford it. What
happened was that in negotiating union contracts, they allowed early
retirement in some of these places 'cause the jobs were so mundane and
boring.
Lá está o mais hilariante vídeo de seis minutos. Nós não vamos contar a

definido", que basicamente é o qu| a General Motors costumava ter e que
muitas grandes empresas costumavam ter até que eles descobriram que
não podiam pagar. O que aconteceu foi que na negociação de contratos
sindicais, que permitiu a reforma antecipada em alguns desses lugares
porque as tarefas eram tão mundana e chata.

IS moved into Mosul last month and made no secret of their plans to
impose the tax. Yesterday, after Christian leaders didn't attend a
meeting called by IS leaders, IS moved on those plans, issuing a
formal statement. The text of the statement was simple: We offer
them three choices: Islam; the dhimma contract - involving payment
of Jizya; if they refuse this they will have nothing but the sword.
You'll sometimes see the jizya called a poll tax because it is a tax on
individuais and not based on income or property. In its initial form,
the tax that was collected was considered compensation for protection
- that's why it was a per person tax structure. Non-Muslims who joined
the Muslim army would be exempt from the tax since they would be
contributing to their own protection. Other exemptions also existed
throughout periods in history, including those for the aged, the very
young and the poor.
As an organization, IS doesn't have a monopoly on the modern jizya.
The Muslim Brotherhood forced Christian Copts in the Dalga village in
Egypt to pay a jizya tax last vear. The value was imposed inconsistently
with some forced to pay 200 Egyptian pounds per day, while others paid
500 Egyptian pounds per day; it's worth noting that no specific value for
the jizya is mentioned in the Qur'an. Those who could not pay the were
attacked or forced to leave.

Às vezes, você vai ver o jizya chamado de imposto por cabeça, porque
é um imposto sobre pessoas físicas e não com base na renda ou
propriedade. Na sua forma inicial, o imposto que foi arrecadado foi
considerado uma compensação para a proteção - é por isso que era
uma estrutura de impostos por pessoa. Os não-muçulmanos que se
juntaram ao exército muçulmano seriam isentos do imposto, uma vez
que estariam contribuindo para a sua própria proteção. Houve também
