Adding insult to injury: Congress and the courts rain blows on discrimination award recipients

Article Abstract:

Both Congress and the US Supreme Court have undermined the goal of discrimination awards under laws, such as the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), by making damages taxable. The role of damages is to make the victim of discrimination whole and so removing a large portion in taxes undercuts that role. The Court's ruling in CIR v. Schleier made ADEA damages taxable and the 1996 Small Business Job Protection Act made most other discrimination damages taxable, preventing damages from serving their purpose and working against anti-discrimination laws.
