  • How Corporations Can Utilize the Tax Code to Better Their Community

    Description:
    Oftentimes, when the topic of taxes is discussed, it is opined that the rich and businesses, "never paid taxes," which certainly does not help the community in any way. Indeed, this is not usually the case; and in fact, I will be presenting the case on how businesses can have both a benefit of lowering their own tax liability while at the same time helping their community by utilizing the 6 general business tax credits offered to them by the tax code. Utilizing these tax credits does not only help lower their tax liability but also raises their social responsibility to their community! The tax credits to be discussed are going to revive the community by employing targeted groups of individuals who have consistently faced significant barriers to employment along with helping them with retirement by building new establishments, or facilities, or both for the community to use, and the environment by reducing the carbon footprint of the community.

  • A Heightened Scrutiny for Sexual Orientation under the Equal Protection Clause

    Description:
    Equality was explicitly written in the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, promising equal treatment. Even though many states recognize lesbians, gays, and bisexuals' rights, LGB individuals across the country still remain vulnerable due to minimal judicial scrutiny. The article will explore the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the three standards of judicial review established by the Supreme Court, and analyze how they pertain to sexual orientation. This article further argues that sexual orientation meets all the Supreme Court's requirements for suspect classification. Accordingly, the Supreme Court should use the highest level of judicial review over LGB challenges and in order to protect the rights of the LGB individuals because these individuals belong to a discrete and insular minority with a long history of discrimination and political powerlessness. Sexual orientation further displayed immutable characteristics that are irrelevant to an individual's ability to participate and contribute to society. This thesis will only discuss sexual orientation, which is an enduring pattern of romantic or sexual attractive toward a person. The term "LGB individuals/community" refers to all sexual orientation -- including gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and several others.
