Prosuming the American Picker

Nobody Knows

Have you ever watched America Pickers? Pawn Shop Wars? Do you think all these programs popping up are just demanded by people because they are so poor, or are they “social engineering” classes? Nobody Wonders….

I have a wonderful friend named Missy, whose family used to be the typical middle class, and she is a great American Picker. Missy is an American woman in the style of Sarah Palin…don’t mess with her, or you’ll liable to find yourself up a tree.  She’s feisty, intelligent, loyal, honest, compassionate, and very patriotic.

Her son used to own his own fitness center. Her husband, Mark, used to work for the Post Office. Missy and Mark used to live in New York, but they moved to North Carolina because the New York property taxes were just too much to bear.

Like millions of baby boomers all over America, they are struggling. Mark lost his pension that was promised, and they get a little from Social Security. Mark is good at being a handyman so they spent their lives buying homes, fixing them up, and then sellng them for a profit. They worked hard for their dream, and succeeded many times over.

You know where I’m going with this.

They have downsized to a smaller house, and their son, who lost his business and can’t find a job, is living in a trailer in the back. He just finally got food stamps after a year. Not only that, he is in sore need of major medical attention. He can’t get any medical. He needs dental. He can’t get that either. He’s over 30 and it’s rough. Missy has told me she sees many people moving trailers onto properties, and many people living in one house.

Nobody Wonders how Obama misses this stuff?

Her son has the usual divorce problems, and he is ordered to pay child support… but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t find a job. He went to a job fair and there were thousands applying. The jobs are just not there. And yet, he is still expected to pay child support. He hardly ever sees his daughter and it’s tearing him up inside.

It’s the same in every city of America.

These are the kind of tough Americans the country was built on. Mark can fix, any car, build any house, fix any problem. Missy can cook fantastic meals from scratch, make her own jellies, skin and cook a deer— tell you how to store onions and eggs in sand. Whenever I have a medical problem I go to her first. Her knowledge of just about every single subject on disease is almost unmatched.

Yes, Missy has a very high IQ. She has saved me over my own doctor too many times to count.

But money is tight. And so, the family goes every Sunday and sets up their booth at the local community “fair.” They trade, they sell, they barter— whatever they can. Missy’s son goes almost every day, selling off stuff that he can find, make or barter.  

This is HOW the family makes money: Flea markets.

It was so touching last week, when Missy told me about how Mark found some pajama’s she liked for $2.50 cents at some booth, so he bought her three. It’s a strong marriage. It’s a good team.

Mark and Missy were once middle class. Those days are now…gone. We are not only the food stamp nation, we are the flea market, dollar store, pawn shop, and Criagslist..give it your best shot…country.

Now…Obama and Mitt are going to talk on and on about the “middle” class, but we will have no middle class: most of our jobs are “service.”  If you listened to Obama say today we were on the path to recovery, remember: We owe $16 trillion.

The country is NEVER going to be the same. They just don’t want you to know that, because it’s an election year.

Missy and Mark get by, selling what little they have left, and I must admit, I’m looking around my house wondering..old comic books, old family deeds, heirlooms, old coins, drum sets (oh no!) …but, my house is mostly books. I bought books for knowledge, no collector items. So, really…not worth much. Luckily, my house is paid for. And common sense tells me, I’ll probably live here till I die.

And that’s okay.

But, this is what bothers me. Now that the middle class has been downsized, and we are all feeling the pain, you can look at most of the millions anywhere on the planet and see people barely exiting.  So, the very powerful see this: and see no problem with “downsizing” the people who live in United States to ‘Upsize” the rest of the world. The UN wants a universal purchase tax put on all rich countries to feed the rest of the world. They were going to use global warming to do this, but that’s not working out too well.

And that brings me to Alvin.

Alvin Toffler ( author of Future Shock),  predicted that in the future, we would all become prosumers. We would work at something we loved and would not get paid. He said we would become a nation of barterers and money would become extinct. Alvin said capitalism would become extinct.

He said this many years ago..as if he WISHED it would happen. Now, if you have read me at all, this isn’t the first time I have talked about Alvin And Heidi Toffler.

As I watch American Pickers on TV, I can’t help but think that the popularity of this program is because of our dire economic situation. Obama can say all he wants…

The facts are there: The US deficit will never be repaid, not in our lifetime. The jobs and money will run out…and bartering will be, as Alvin predicted, the only way to eat for many.

Alvin also predicted corporations would do this too:

Many corporations are now moving to a form of internal corporate money so that their subsidiaries can do off the books trades that do not require either taxation or foreign exchange transactions.  Barter exists among government-to-government trades, or big company-to-big company trades, where the controversy about internal pricing may be too high to translate into pricing

And that’s what bothers me…Alvin Toffler and his wife are social engineers. They think capitalism is outdated, as is America. They spent their life living in China. They have been advisers to all the leaders of the world.

Alvin Toffler wants YOU to be a prosumer, which in the American vocabulary means: slave.

Nobody says Alvin Toffler should meet my friend Missy. She’d pick him so bad, he would never heal. We must fight to save capitalism, and put the Toffler’s of the world back in the dark ages where they seem to want everyone else to be…or someday, there will be nothing left to pick.

When you find a “social engineer” who writes books for years predicting the future, Nobody seems to want to ask: Could he predict the future? Or…did Alvin Toffler help shape it?

Nobody Knows, but Nobody’s Opinion on the matter is very strong.

Margaret Thatcher and the Fog of Davos

Nobody’s Opinion:

There was a terrible car accident on Florida’s highway 95 this weekend. Nine people were killed because of fog. In fact, there was so much fog that the ambulance and police had trouble finding the wounded once they got to the scene. That’s pretty much sums up the state of the world right now. If you watch the news, it looks like most of the people in the world are in a fog: mentally, spiritually, and economically.

Riots, riots, riots, and more riots.  

Everyone is realizing what exactly has happened, and is going to happen, and the masses are enraged. The wonderful globalization plans put in place by the top leaders of the world has lead to a plutocratic elite whose secret and not-so-secret meetings have been used to steal untold trillions from the citizens below and they have used that money to further engineer the designing of the planet for mostly their benefit.
***
This isn’t a wacko conspiracy..it’s right there in front of us—but keeping us all in the fog about it has been one of reasons why we all feel so lost. We THINK we see an evil shape in the road ahead, but it’s too foggy to figure it out.
***

As you can see from the words of Margaret Thatcher, this consolidation of a few unelected elite at the top controlling the money and therefore the lives of the global populations has been gaining momentum for quite some time now. Today, England is trying to keep it’s sovereignty, from the unelected elite in the EU, and it’s a hard fight.

Last week in Davos, Switzerland (What a better place for the rich to feel safe…hidden high in the mountains.) where the elite meet openly each year… Klaus Schwab said he remained a deep believer in free markets but that capitalism is out of whack and needs to be fixed “to serve society.”

It’s the “needs to be fixed” that bothers me. There was nothing wrong with capitalism in the first place. Transferring trillions of dollars from the taxpayers of the United States to bail out banks all over the world is hardly what anyone would call “capitalism.” But that’s not the point is it? From 2002 to 2007, 65 percent of all income growth in the United States went to the top 1 percent of the population. No matter how you want to slice that…the rich are doing fine after the great “recession” the rest of us, are not.

I know. I know…you might say..Joyanna, Obama is using class warfare to justify his socialistic ways. And that’s certainly true. But Obama lies. If he really believed what he was saying, that we should take more from the rich…he would have NEVER bailed them out in the first place, making the poor people of the Unites States pay for all those big ‘evil’ companies and banks. He believes in redistribution alright..he redistributed all our money to the rich. And so did George W. Bush.

What if Obama is not different than a Romney, or a Newt, or even a Rick Santorin? What if, the network of the rich elites are all tied together? According Chrystia Freeland, in her article in the Atlantic, (Jan. 20111) “The New Ruling Class, How the Global Elite is Leaving You Behind”..that’s exactly the case.

According to her, (And she should know, she hangs out with them.)  they go to the same hotels, fly private jets, and they all have many homes in many countries. And they stick together. They do not have, nor do they care to have, any affiliation with any one nation. It’s a borderless world, but to the few hundred elite, it’s a small one.

As we watch Romney battle Newt in Florida, we take note: Now that corporations can run attacks ads on Presidential candidates and whoever has the most companies with the most money in their pockets, gets the permission to pass GO. Their payback is big. GE—who gave millions to Obama’s election, paid no taxes last year on their $14 billion dollar profit. Jeffery has hotels on Boardwalk. GE will try hard to get Obama elected again. It’s the least they can do for their shareholders, right? It’s the same with all the green energy plants that Obama gave billions to. They gave to him first.

So, do we still have a government that represents us? Here’s why you can be sure, whoever gets elected will always put the elites who gave them money, before YOU.

The proof is right before our eyes: When a man like John Corzine misplaces $60 billion dollars of other people’s money, and no one even arrests him, what does that tell you?

A. They are all stupid B. They just like the guy. C. He personally handles their stock portfolios. D. The corruption in Washington is all pervasive. E. He’s one of them. F. All of the above.

Not one person in Congress was even outraged. They gave him a “mock” scolding and he was let go.

Here’s more proof of this elite plutocracy, composed of our top politicians and multinational CEO’s:

Obama puts a woman on the Supreme Court who will be the deciding vote in keeping the unconstitutional Obama health care law of the land. The law says, since Sonia Sotomayor helped get the law  passed, she should excuse herself from the process, because she shouldn’t be allowed to judge that which she help create: But Justic Roberts, the head of the Supreme Court, a George W. Bush appointee says: No. She’s okay.

NO? The Supreme Court does not even obey its own laws?

And how about that big difference between the parties? They are blending together like sugar in molasses.

We see Chris Christie, the ‘conservative’ New Jersey Governor who was Ann Coulter’s vision of a political Elvis; joining the Wall Street guy Mitt, and wanting to pass the tax and trade bills. More jobs will be killed. More money will go to the top. More small businesses will fold. And that’s the point. It’s the plan. All new patents must be owned by the multinationals. Entrepreneurship by the individual will be destroyed. That’s not capitalism, that’s fascism…our government is helping them.
***

Now as we find out that our Congress has been getting rich off of insider trading, oops, do they get punished for that crime? Nope. (I don’t care if they ‘let’ themselves get by with it, it’s still a crime.)   

Obama wants to pass a law. Not that it will matter. Our elite politicians can break any law, and go unpunished. They don’t even have to pay taxes…or go by Obamacare.

They are a rich elite class. They fly on our dime, wine on our dime, and don’t care.

Three analysts at Citigroup said that “The World is divided into two blocs, the Plutonomy and the rest.” Alan Greespan said that the growth in economic inequality is a national crisis. Occupy Wall Street is in every city now, and the elites at Davos are worried. This was their conclusion:
They have no answers to the widening inequality gap, but a mounting realization that economic growth must include the poor, that job creation is critical, and that affordable food, housing, health care and education need to be part of any solution. –AP

Nobody Says: Nice press release.

Frankly, I don’t think they are worried at all. One of the CEO of the world’s largest hedge funds said that his investment committee often discusses the question of who wins and who loses and his senior colleagues had said that the hollowing out of the middle class didn’t really matter.

“His opinion was that if the transformation of the world economy lifts four people in China and India out of poverty and into the middle class, and meanwhile means one America drops out of the middle class, that’s not such a bad trade.”

Here in the U.S., we have lived so very long in the richest and freest nation on the planet, that we can’t imagine our country not recovering from the spiral we see ahead of us. The rich are getting scared, and to hide their riches from the “people” and governments that wish to tax their riches, they now put all their wealth in philanthrocapitalistic foundations, where no one can touch it. They live in guarded communities, on yachts, and planes.

It’s not that the rich are getting rich that bothers most people: it’s that they are taking over our lives, and affecting the future of the planet. It doesn’t matter how many Global initiatives or Linda and Bill Gates foundations are formed. They can’t feed us all. And that’s why many of them just want us all to die off. Obamacare will help that along. 
***

But here’s the good news: The slave trade didn’t last forever….and neither will the global plutocrats. After the fog lifts, and the damage is seen, good people, like Margaret Thatcher will come about.

You can’t keep the whole world in a fog forever. There are many lights ahead. We just have to find them.

Obama’s State of the Union According to Mother and Child: Give HIM the Bill

Nobody Knows

This picture pretty much sums up what I was thinking as I was watching Obama’s State of the Union speech… Yep, that’s me. That’s how I felt afterwards, in shock to find out just how unprepared for the job of President this man was. It’s much worse than I thought.

If you missed it, then here’s an imaginary  summary from this little girl watching then State of the Union Address with her mama. She sums it up pretty nicely.

 *****

Little Girl   Wow…look at Michelle mama… in that gorgeous blue dress. How much did that cost? Here comes Hillary…look, her hair looks like her mom did it. (I wish my mom could make my hair have a diamond tiara in it.)

Here comes Obama. He keeps saying over and over: “Good to see you.” He saying it to EVERYONE! Is he glad to see EVERYONE? Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you….

Oh my…look at that old lady give Obama the biggest hug I’ve ever seen. She’s so old. She’s on the Supreme Court. Why does SHE get such a big hug. What did Obama do for her? Wish he’d hug me like that.

Okay, that man behind him just told us he is the President of the United States. Didn’t we all know that? Why are they announcing it again? 

*****

Mama, look—everyone is standing up!

Mama   They are giving him a standing ovation because he is talking about our brave soldiers. I’m going to try that trick next time I give my speech at school.  EVERYONE always applauses the soldiers.

Little Girl   He says we all need to act like the soldiers. They have made us safe. He wants us to follow their example and act like the soldiers. His grandfather and grandmother were part of a larger part. Okay, we must be like soldiers. Dad told me soldiers obey orders, I guess that’s what he wants us to do.  

President says everyone should play by the same rules? Does that mean I can go on Air Force One, and play with Bo?

*****

Little Girl   President Obama says the State of the Union is getting stronger. HUH? MOM? He said that GM leads in world sales.

Mama   Because they sell and build in China, it has nothing to do with us sweetie.

Little Girl    He wants us all to give money to community colleges so that people can learn how to work. Some lady who got fired was given a job by some company who paid for her training. Her hair looks like cousin.  No one is going to have to pay for education…

He wants the bill.

He says the poor teachers work for no pay. He wants us to pay the good teachers MORE. He wants to make it a law that all kids HAVE to go to school until 18. What happens if I can’t? I might not live that long? Will they arrest me? Will Obama take my dad? He wants us to pay for more students to go to college, especially the illegal ones.

Am I illegal? He wants all illegal’s to stay here, and get free education, and send him another bill

He wants the bill. He will sign it. That’s what he said. He keeps saying that.

 ******

Little Girl: Okay, now he is talking about energy. He is looking for oil…wait…I thought he told everyone they couldn’t do any oil searching after that big BP oil spill? He says climate change is not going fast enough so HE has told the military to BUILD a solar city? Or what? The military is going to build a future new energy city for over 3 million people? Will that cost money? The Navy will build it. Doesn’t the Navy build boats?

Wow…look Mama! Look at the light from the sky shining on him…it’s like a halo from god…God is shining beams of light on him!…ooooo000000…..

Mama   No honey, that’s just a special effect they do with camera’s. It’s dark there now sweetie. Trust me, that’s not from God.

*******

Little Girl: He still wants to build roads. Didn’t he say that a long time ago? And he wants to build another Hoover dam. Wow. Wait—- he said that he will not put up with mercury poisoning for the kids. Wait, all our new light bulbs are filled with mercury!

MOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!! Obama is going to arrest you! You are trying to poison me with mercury!

(Maybe mom doesn’t love me?)

Mama: No honey, I love you. I would never do that.

Little Girl: President Obama says he will not let those mean nasty bankers ever do that nasty stuff ever again:

He wants a bill.

******

Little Girl: Okay, everyone who makes more than 1 million a year has to pay more. Like Him. He wants to pay more. He says he wants us to put more money in research:

He wants a bill!

He wants to outlaw insider trading. What’s that mom?

He just said it again: Send him the bill!

Wait…he’s quoting Lincoln. I just read that book by Mr. O’Reilly: He says he believes just like Republican Abraham Lincoln:

 “That government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves -and no more.”

Mmmmm I’m confused. He doesn’t like anything we do for ourselves.

Wow…mama…He said the executive branch is outdated. He wants more power..so that he can gather everything together into one big..something.

Mama: He wants more power honey..so that he can bypass Congress, and make all the laws himself.  

Mama

Little Girl: Is that a good thing mom?

Mama: No honey, it’s not.

Little Girl:  He is saying that if Congress doesn’t do anything he will do what he needs to do.

Does that mean that he doesn’t like Congress mom?

Mama: Yes dear

 *****

Little Girl: Mama, Obama doesn’t like Iran. He likes Jews. He seems really mad at Syria. He says we are a Pacific power. He is also mad at Iran. He will do anything necessary to stop the bad guys. Mom…is Obama going to kill all those people? He killed bin Laden right?

*******

Little Girl: Hey, he talking about the Seals teams again mama. Everyone is standing up again and giving him a standing ovation!

Mama: Yeah, how else would he get one— pretty smart speech writer.

Little Girl: Obama says he has the flag that the guys used to kill Bin Laden mom…how come he gets to keep it? (Mama says nothing.)

He says we should all be like the army. Trust each other. SERVE.

Oh, there he goes. He looks sad. Those black ladies keep trying to kiss him.

MAMA: Okay, what did you learn tonight, baby?

Little Girl: I must be a good soldier, and trust Obama.  Obama is going to spend a lot of money helping illegal’s, and college students, and people losing their houses, and building new roads, and new cities with the Navy, and he wants us to send him the bill.

He must be a rich man mama, to want to pay the bill to all that stuff.

Mama?

Mama: What honey?

Little Girl: I though Obama didn’t like rich people? Does that mean he doesn’t like himself?

Mama: Well, he only likes the ones who give him money, honey, and I say Obama likes himself a..lot. So much in fact, that he wants to be our first King.

 Now let’s go fix that hair.

Little Girl: Mama…can I sleep in the dark tonight? I don’t think I want the light on anymore..I don’t want to get poisoned.

Mama: Sure baby, I think that’s a good idea.

The Terror in Chicago: Old White People Debating

Nobody’s Opinion

If you are a conservative, it’s important to watch the liberals right now…so I did this weekend.

Last Saturday, while the Republicans were stomping to the voting machines in South Carolina, David Axelrod, put  a panel of democratic pundits on C-Span. It was titled , Road to the White House: The Presidential Election of 2012,  but what it really was, was Obama’s Chicago presidential reelection counsel getting together and trying to assure themselves and everyone else that conservatism is dead. Also, that Mitt Romney can’t connect with an audience. (which IS true) And lastly, along with those messages, give Obama some advice, since he was probably taping it.

The Panel consisted of George Stephanopoulos asking the questions to Rahm Emanuel, David Brooks, Rachel Maddow, and one man claiming to be Republican,  a one Alex Castellanos. Alex was so in love with the Clinton’s, you couldn’t even call him a RINO. Even Rino’s don’t salivate over the Clinton’s–at least not in public. Alex, ran Mitt Romney’s campaign in 2008, which tells you a lot about Mitt, and probably why he lost. The guy is a die-hard liberal.  

Here’s some of their ideas, that they gave sitting on stage at the University of Chicago the democratic/mafia political breeding grounds, and my thoughts on those ‘ideas.”

 Rahm Emanuel:

He was 100% certain: Mitt would be the nominee, the South Carolina vote didn’t matter.

Nobody Says: Now, whether this was wishful thinking or just inside knowledge on who was going to win…I’m not sure. Rahm wanted to be Mayor of Chicago: and it was handed to him, like how Putin wanted to be President of Russia, and it was handed to him.

Nobody sees any difference in those two ‘elections.’

His advice to Obama was to keep up the “I inherited this horrible mess, and I need another four years to fix it.” Obama has been pretty much saying just that, which means Rahm is still advising him.  No more “cash for clunkers” that would be bad.

Nobody Says: Rahm’s manipulation is disturbing. For instance, he believes only ONE party should rule, because when the country is divided nothing gets passed.  The reality is, the left has gone so far to the left, almost to a soft fascism/Marxism, that the other side is just trying to stop them from taking more control of our country, and that’s bugging him. 

One party. One rule. That’s what he wants. (It’s the Chicago way!)

On Republicans: They bought too much real estate and it’s going down. John Boehner will be gone next election.

Nobody Says: In other words: Rahm is mad because the democrats lost so badly in the 2010 mid-term elections.   

There was the threats that anyone who would challenge Obama from his own side, would be eaten. He tried hard to say Obama was actually producing jobs, and he will be elected again once those jobs reappear, as they will.

Nobody Says: Good luck with that Rahm. Keep lying.

Besides given the wrong credit to Bill Clinton for welfare reform, and saying that all the Ronald Reagan devotees were killing the party, Rahm was his usual smug self.  He did get some liberal protesters mad about his closing down libraries and cutting off mental health care, but he acted as if they were silly, and like a true politician, spewed out some gibberish. Oh…and big lie of the day: Rahm said that Democrats believe, as the audience can see, in open discussion, rather than what the Republicans do: rule behind the closed-door.

Nobody Says: He forgot to mention he was in that locked room with Obama all through the Obamacare sessions. No one was allowed in that room, for over 15 days. It was locked and guarded.

Rahm is a  hard man to like, and so far, he’s Obama’s best hope. That’s why Obama’s reelection office is in Chicago. Rahm is still working for him.

David Brooks

Looks like a bobble-head–another alumni of the University. David said some pretty ridiculous things like he likes the fairy guy Obama, that he remembers from his days at Chicago University. (Have you noticed yet how many people around Obama have graduated from that school, and did he mean…gay?)

There’s his SUN/MOON theory. One party is the sun, and one is the moon, and now we have two moons. He’d like a Harvard man running against a Harvard man (Obama VS Mitt)

Nobody Says: snob.

But the most absurd theory is: David said that the Republicans were all raised by the schools to give them all too much confidence in themselves. Therefore they are too materialistic, and selfish, and are so stupid that they think they know it all. Yes…the Republicans. He said that Rush Limbaugh was the perfect examples of grandiosity

Nobody Says: Uh..right. David Brooks does not suffer from grandiosity. I won’t even go into how absurd that is, never mind how the democrats represent the give “me, me, me” everything free syndrome, and were the ones who implemented that “everyone gets a star” crap into our schools. Where were all the democratic kids when the teachers were cramming this stuff out?

In the bathroom, peeling bananas?  

 Really, Who is more selfish? The conservatives believe in family. You have to sacrifice you life to raise kids: It’s the liberals who have the abortions: it would take time away from THEM. Or better yet, adopt a foreign kid, hire a nanny, and keep your figure. Which is  more selfish?

David Brooks is an idiot, and a grandiose one at that.

Rachael Maddow

Called Romney the largest midget. Ron Paul is an alien. Nobody believes in the stuff he is promoting. (which means Rachael thinks our Constitution is alien)

She was not so sure Obama would win, because unlike all the rest on that panel, she actually has talked to some people who are disappointed in him. Oh, and she loves the military.  She loves to wear big black glasses: Thinks it makes her look intelligent.

Nobody thinks she only said that because Obama is trying to convince us all he is a proud military commander, and the democrats need that image to get him elected, they think.

Alex Castellanos

Alex predicted that on that day, Newt’s run would collapse.  Thought Obama should promise the moon, like he did before to win. Thinks we should be…government by Facebook. LOVES Hillary Clinton for President. Said we need lots of immigrants to support Social Security. We need to get rid of all those political debates. Our next “crop” of Republicans are not ripe yet, in other words, we not quite the wonderful new democratic party of the Clinton’s. Alex is really sad about that. After all, we’ve got this New World to conquer.

Yes, he trashes the Republicans for not being into immigration., and said in a joking manner, “My marriage is still open.” (I can see why.) Says Obama running twice is like losing your virginity twice, he can’t be as excitable the second time around.

Nobody Thinks that Alex (R) is more liberal than Rachel Maddox and that’s saying quite a lot. Looks like we need a new category for Republicans which are more wacko liberal than the liberals themselves.

Nobody Suggests. RUDGOWs.(rhymes with madcows)Republicans you don’t go out with.

At the end, you could tell they are worried. Alex said that all those “old white people” want the country to come back, and it’s gone. They will never get their country back.

Yes, it took the Republican on the stage to say what they all know: Obama has destroyed the country so badly, the odds of it ever coming back are gone, or so they think. But they all have wonderful lives advising for Obama, and they all have power…and they don’t want to lose it.

And the thought of recurring nightmares of “old white republican people” coming at them in the dark…it’s scaring the bee heavies out of them.

Suddenly, old white people are the most freighting thing on the planet to the democrats.

And this old white person, is loving it. Let’s give them what they REALLY fear…old white people voting Obama OUT.

Go GET em’ Rush!

Nobody Flashes

Yes, I participated with the “black-out” yesterday, and so it seems did many others.  And this morning I was thinking that IF it was passed, I wouldn’t be able to post this wonderful rant by Rush Limbaugh, so that everyone could hear it.

That would be considered copyright infringement. I can’t imagine losing freedom on the internet. Something is very fishy about the whole thing…but what else is new?

Rush, is at his very best here. When it comes to rallying the troops, NOBODY does it better than Rush.  It’s the reason that Republican Presidents invite him to the White House, and bake him cakes for his birthday.

So Enjoy!…while we still can.

Obama…the New King of Mickey Mouse

Nobody Cares

Obama is going to be on TV Thursday, standing in front of the Castle at Disneyworld, in order to give a speech to help poor old Disney World out, because Disney World used to be the prime vacation spot for all Americans. Once a year, the American family would load up and drive to California, or Orlando, and go to Disneyland to spent a week having fun with the kids.

Well gee--- since Obama has been in office, nobody can afford the gas anymore. Not only that...but since Obama is having everyone searched at the airports, people don't even want to fly.

The vacation money is going for food. There is no middle class to fill the great Epcot restaurants. Vacations now are to your local city zoo for many people, and even that's getting too expensive.

Disney is hurting. And since Disney is mostly 'service' jobs, our President is saying he is going to help.  He is going to give a speech right on the steps of that great Disney Castle for the good of America: Gather round all you lower wage teenagers and Hispanics! I'm going to help you! Come! Come to America and join in our Disney American Dream!

Has this ever been done before?  When was the last time a President of the United States shut down a Disney park just to make a campaign speech?

On the set of Pollyanna?

Is Disney putting money into Obama’s campaign coffers for this?

Here’s the report:

Tourism officials hope and expect his announcement to have something to do with tourism Visas — specifically tourists from Brazil, China and India.Right now, tourists from those countries have to go through an elaborate Visa process to get in the United States.

Ahh…….maybe they just don’t want to be ‘searched’ at the airports. Why they just walk over our southern border like everybody else?

And how many of those just visiting, will not go home? Maybe they’ll just stay and get a job driving the buses to the parks, serving taco’s to Snow White, or loading people onto the rides at “It’s a Small, Small World.”

If Obama can just get MORE people into the country from Brazil, China and India, they will come and spend money, at Disney world, and that would create thousands of very low paying jobs for the unemployed illegal’s that are already here. Our economy is so bad, the illegal’s are not even coming anymore.

To the elites: this is a disaster.

That’s the official line. The real business is Obama, Michelle and the kids want to sneak in another vacation.

Obama could have given this speech from the Oval office, but then again, I’m sure he wanted a day with Michelle and the kids in the Magic Kingdom, so, it’s nice to be King, and be able to shut down the Magic Kingdom to enjoy just for the day. I wouldn’t doubt if they get Typhoon Lagoon all to themselves too. All the poor sops that had tickets for that day..will just have to go someplace else.

Tell me…the way the Obama’s are seeing the world at our expense, you have to wonder by their actions if they really don’t believe they will be back, and are trying to cram in as much sightseeing on our dime as they possibly can.

You can bet Michelle and Obama will be in Rio for the summer Olympics. Tell me, what haven’t they seen? Africa…China…India,..Hawaii,…Rome, Paris, London…We USED to have ambassadors to do our work. Since when does the President have to go everywhere himself?

What famous monuments will the taxpayers of nations have to shut down next for our American Royals? The Louvre? The Vatican? Havana? Statue of liberty? The Leaning Tower of Pisa? Mecca?

Do you have any IDEA how much it’s going to cost to shut down Disney’s Magic Kingdom for one day? How much security it’s going to take just for him to get INTO the park? How many secret service men are going to have to look through every single trashcan? Not to mention, how many of his friends are we paying for?

Whatever. He’s the king. The rest of us can only dream of going on vacation.

Someday, in the Hall of Presidents there will be Obama..standing next to Lincoln, and Lincoln..will be retired to just sitting down, while Obama’s robot will talk for ten minutes and  be the end and highlight of the show. It will be a speech where the great Obama will talk about “giving service ” and how we all need to sacrifice for the future of  mankind.

You can bet your next trip to Disney on it.  Obama is “sacrificing” his great talents to shut down Disney just to help the poor of Brazil and China be able to come to Disneyland..just like him.

Nobody has ever seen, such an arrogant man.

I hope Donald gives him a good quack.

The Lessons From Atlantis

Nobody’s Opinion:

Here’s a video that was emailed to me that I haven’t seen, and unless you have nothing to do but sit around and watch C-Span all day, you didn’t see this either. It’s nothing new under the sun…the bankers and the top leaders of our government (let’s not forget the Brussels people) have been having secret meetings for years now. It’s chess on a global scale, and it’s not reported, but it’s a class of the .01 percent of the powerful who have gotten together to put in process certain scenarios to get the results that we have seen happen since 2008. The global crash, was caused by what Daniel Hannon would call “crony capitalism” and the rest of us call theft.  They got very rich, and gave themselves huge amounts of money, while the rest of the world collapsed.

It’s the reason we see riots everywhere. The leaders of all nations: from the Wall Street Boys, to our own billionaire Congress, to the Saudi Kings of Arabia, to the Queen herself…the gold halls of Atlantis, for all it’s value, could not compete with this small group of..around 400 people.

As the people struggle, the rich have lost all morality.

As I was watching this video, I couldn’t help but think of what Plato wrote about the ‘lost’ city of Atlantis.

Whenever you hear about “Atlantis” you hear mostly about how “wise” etc. the place was. But according to Plato, Atlantis was known first and foremost for it’s spectatcular wealth. The buildings were all of gold, ivory, silver, laced with beautiful marbles beyond imagination. And every five or six years, the King and the princes of nine districts, would meet and for the most part…ruled well.

(Probably because they ONLY GOT TOGETHER EVERY SIX YEARS!)

Atlantis and its people lived in harmony. They had beautiful gardens, and mansions, and just about as much gold as you could imagine. And then it happened: at the height of its glory, the rich got…greedier.

 “Then above all they appeared to be superlatively fair and blessed yet they were filled with lawless ambition and power. The portion of divinity within them was now becoming faint and weak. They were unable to bear the burden of their possessions and had lost their virtue. The wealth they possessed was so immense that the like that never been seen before in any royal house nor will ever easily be seen again.”

According to Plato, Zeus got angry…and caused earthquakes, floods, and tsunami’s’ to sink the whole island.

What would Plato say today I wonder?

If history repeats itself, then Atlantis will be destroyed. The rich will go down with the poor.

Now, you have to ask yourself: Did Plato make up this little island of wealth to teach some kind of morality lesson to the rich lords of his own age? Was this a “fable” handed down as a lesson of what happens when too many people get greedy and destroy the rest of the people?

Or was Atlantis…real? Nobody Knows.

According to THIS guy. It’s still here. And isn’t it funny, that when you hear about the lost city of Atlantis, you never hear about the “lawless ambition and power” of its rulers?

Something tells me…in the future, our own ambitoous and greedy rulers of the world, will write their own histroy (as they are doing now) and that bit of information, about how a mere handful of people who ruled the world, got very greedy and helped destory the once great wealth of many… will be lost to future generations, just as surely, as the story of the lost city of Atlantis.

In the future, it will be told to little children, that once upon a time: a great civilization lived where all the men and leaders were wise.

Product Placement: Political Power Prevails

Nobody Cares–

–That I was bored of politics yesterday and watched this little documentary. I many never drink Coke again…and I’ll tell you in a minute about that.

The guy that made this movie, (forgive me if don’t I tell you– I REALLY don’t want to remember his name) reminds me of my next door neighbor. He always borrows my lawn tools and forgets to give them back. Only in America can a guy make a movie about getting major corporations to give him thousands of dollars to put their products IN the movie, which is about him getting $1.5 million dollars to make what is basically—just  a big advertisement for their products.

After it was done, I had to think: Now, what did I learn?

1. POM (the major sponsor) is good for men’s erections. (Yes, that was the big one.)

2. Product placement in movies can sometimes help carry the cost when the budgets are so big.

3. Advertising is almost never honest.

4.. Quentin Tarantino has a hard time getting ANY major spongers.

5. Even Ralph Nader is a sucker for free stuff, bribes, and payoffs.

6. If you just even LOOK at the logo of Coca Cola, your endorphins in your brain will shoot sky high, you will start salivating, fall on the floor, crave wild sex with Kevin Costner, and need to be taken away by the police…..

Just kidding—You might not do that , but you will want to drink one. The MRI’s prove it.

7. I also learned that they know if you get kids young enough loving McDonalds, you can program them to want McDonalds for the rest of their lives. I ought to know: whenever I’m stressed I want McDonalds. In fact, I had it for dinner tonight…a quarter pounder (no cheese) with a Coke.  My mother must have bought me McDonalds when I was sick when I was a kid, because it’s the only food that makes me feel better.

Flu? MCDONALDS! Stuffy nose? MCDONALDS! Hangover? MCDONALDS! Don’t want to cook? MCDONALDS! Okay, that last one, in my house, is considered an ailment.

Obviously this means…OMG!  I’m addicted!

So…Nobody asks: How can a “logo” put your brain in addiction mode?

This from Kevin Trudeau’s Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About.”

Food manufacturers are knowingly putting chemicals into the food that cause the consumer to become physically addicted to it. Chemicals are being added to our food that actually make us gain weight. Since our brains are mostly fat, a large percentage of these chemicals accumulate there over the years.
So, eating fast food does actually build up…a brain full of fat, which they say…makes you dumber.  
 ***
Does this mean you are getting information from a fat brain? Can you READ this and not gain weight? Is that Big Mac that I ate when I was ten still in my cerebellum? Is THAT why we have all those ADD’s and ATT’s, and people who can’t remember who’s Vice President?
***

And if commercials about food, cars, cigarettes, vodka, drugs, and car insurance aren’t enough to drive us all into zombie- fat no-brain land, let’s not forget all the subliminal political messages they put in all the sitcoms and movies.

They are not only advertising products, they are advertising political parties.

Last week Michelle Obama made a guest appearance on Nickelodium to push the Obama’s big campaign suck up to the military. (see video below) Yes, they have to get some white votes somehow.  

They could be doing this for two reason: It’s an election year, and they want to convince the conservatives..whose families are in the military, that they like them, or 2. They are planning to attack Iran and need more soldiers before the year is out. The ones coming home will not want to go back out there: back to the deserts, and the camels, and the Muslim busting stress, where a McDonald’s Super-Sized Big Mac Meal, topped off with a cold delicious chocolate shake is hard to come by.

Can you blame them?

Either way, when the top family in the country can manipulative the masses with guest appearances on TV shows…Nobody Wonders: Who pays who? Does the President always get free air time, when others have to PAY to appear?

How fair is that? Is Newt Gingrich going to get free air time on MTV? Also, did Michelle Obama PAY to have the kids call her “Your excellency”? Or did she…demand it be written in the script?Nobody Knows.

I suggest what’s-his-name make that his NEXT big movie. If he does that, I might even pay to see it.

And then… I’ll surely remember his name.

Nobody Gets Email: Tom Beebe’s Amendment…

Nobody Gets Email

Here’s an idea from one of my readers, who starts out the year with some much needed reforms: like getting the big corporations out of being able to control our Congress and Presidents by having the unfair advantage over the single citizen, who cannot afford to hire hundreds of lobbyists. Most of our big corporations spend millions each year lobbying Congress. (The ordinary citizen thinks this is okay, because we, frankly, we really don’t think about it much.)

The other problem: Chinese and Saudi money swamp our elections. Remember Bill and Hillary’s morning (Chinese) coffee trysts at the White House? Pay, and you can meet them. Obama, it was reported by many last year, received millions from the Saudi’s in the last election.
Having said all this: We have many laws on the books already that are completely ignored, including our Constitution. We are reminded of that every time we are strip searched in an airport…. and that’s the harder problem, isn’t it?

Anyway, here’s Tom’s suggestion…which is a good one!

(Thanks to Tom Beebe)

                                         

                                        TOM BEEBE’S AMENDMENT

                     (Commentary in {..}, not part of proposed Amendment}

No candidate for the Presidency or either house of Congress shall accept contributions in cash or in kind from any organization or group of persons for expenses incurred in a campaign for that office. All such contributions shall be made only by individual citizens who shall attest that the funds or other items of value are from their own resources and that they have not received, nor have they been promised, offsetting items of value from any other party in exchange for their contribution. The identity and extent of contributors to such campaigns shall be made public for a period of thirty days from receipt before being employed or used as collateral for a loan by such campaigns. Organizations of any type, {i.e. corporations, unions, gun rights advocates, environmental protection groups, even “Susie’s Flower Shop”, a theoretical small business cited in the Citizen’s United Case,} may, without restriction, expend money to advocate a position on any issue before or likely to come before the electorate insofar as no candidate’s name or description is included in their expressions of advocacy.

(The intent of the above is to bring “transparency” to campaign financing by removing any group from the process whereby that group may conceal the identity of an individual  contributor as well as limiting the influence of such groups or “special interests”. It further prevents an organization from making such contributions when an individual within that organization, such as a union member or corporation stockholder, may oppose the candidate. Considering the large equity position in certain corporations that the federal government has recently taken in response to the economic crises, this is particularly important in excluding such influence. The money from “special interest” groups will then go to promote that for which they exist, their “special interest”. The media will be directed to expositions on the issues facing the electorate, thus enhancing discussion and hopefully understanding of issues, bereft of personalities.)
 
NOBODY NOTES:
If anyone has an idea on how to solve some of our problems, and you’d like me to post it, just send your thoughts to joyanna5150@yahoo.com, and I will post them on my weekend emails. We KNOW the problems, what we need are solutions. Any subject is open.

Nobody’s Fool: Gerald Celente

Nobody’s Fool

Gerald Celente, is Nobody’s Fool.

If you haven’t heard this man, then go to Youtube and type in his name, and listen.

If there was ever a Paul Revere for our time, It’s Gerald Celente. He has spent years predicting future trends, (That’s what his company does) and he has never missed. Gerald has been trying to call out warnings to us all for many years now..and Nobody agrees with him more: without morality, we don’t have a chance.

He’s frank, direct, honest, patriotic, worried, and doesn’t mince words. Check him out when you can. One thing he can say when his time is up: He did the best he could to tell us all what’s coming. We could use thousands more like him. Hey, I’m listening Gerold. Nobody Cares about every word.

Here’s another one of his rants.

Nobody Needs More Hetty Greens

Nobody Wins

Most everyone will agree… our education system is…abysmal. While there are many public schools, in areas where the lawyers, doctors, and fairly well-off people live that do a fairly good job, for most of America, the story is very different.

We are so far behind in science and math compared to other countries, it a no- brainer that Mitt Romney and Bill Gates want to import more brains from other countries. The main thing that has separated the haves from the have- not’s is knowledge. And there is one bit of important knowledge that the rich know that the poor are never taught:How to play the stock market.

In every high school in America, that should be a required course. There was no such thing in my high school, and later on, I found out that my own son had no idea or was ever taught in school, how to even write a check, or the basics of finance. And for obvious reasons: our government is trying to transform us into a cashless society, and they are doing a good job at it. There is nothing being taught in our schools about finance: stock markets, bonds…etc.
***
The difference in the rich VS the poor, is that the rich teach their children all about it. And that’s what Hetty Green’s father did.  

Who is Heddy Green? (1834-1916) She played with the big boys, back when Jay Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller went around the country snatching up natural resources, fixing prices, cheating the government, and trying to destroy one another. This was also before the Sixteenth Amendment was passed giving the federal government the right to tax individuals and corporations. (Now, the rich just put all their money in off-shore banks.)

Hetty was every bit as good at the game, she took no prisoners, and she became a very ric multimillionaire, by playing the stock market.

And HOW did a woman back in the Victorian era accomplish this feat?

From The Rich and How They Got That Way

Hetty father and her grandfather made their money in the whale business. As a girl , Hetty sat on their laps while they read the business news and stock market report to her. Later when their eyesight began to fail, she did the same for them. Since Quakers traditionally regarded women as men’s equals. Once when Hetty went to New York for the winter social season, her father gave her $1,200 to buy clothes. She invested $1,000 of the allowance in bonds instead. All through her life she held high society in utter contempt.

When he died, he left his estate of about $6 million to his daughter. Her father had left his bequest in a trust to be administered by two male executors. Hetty’s income from her various holdings amounted to roughly $1000 a day. yet she wore the same dress every day. She bought railroad stocks and bonds. In one year in London, she made more than $1.25 million on her investments.

So, is it any wonder why the lowly working man is angry? With the right investments, a man or woman needs never lift a finger to survive. And today, we have even bigger robber barons—

“Anybody who plays the stock market not as an insider is like a man buying cows in the moonlight.” The robber barons prevailed partly because they were good gamblers but also because they had no ethical scruples, and no person or agency was powerful enough to stop them. By 1900, America had the highest per capita standard of living in the world. It was the heroic age of American capitalism.

They destroyed one another by manipulating stock prices with the blind enthusiasm of barbarians. The act of a corner was to acquire the entire stock of a commodity in order to resell it at a higher price, a perfect corner obliterated the bears who had sold stock short in anticipation of buying it back cheaper at a later date.

Sound familiar?

So…the reason that we are in this terrible mess, is because a lot of very rich people, saw a way to get very rich on the stock market, and they crashed fortunes, nations, and futures with no remorse.

The little nobodies had no clue, because they were not taught in his schools, how bonds, stocks, derivatives, and even capitalism works.  

Nobody Wins, when a nation is kept ignorant by design, of how stock markets work. That gives the cream at the top the advantage.

A man is robbed on the Stock Exchange just as he is killed in war by people whom he never sees.

American have not only been robbed of our money, we have been robbed of our future.

It’s about time, we educate ourselves.

Trillions…and Trillions…and Trillions….

Nobody Knows:

Well, here we are at the end of the year, and Nobody is going to sum up her opinion on the race for the White House…so far, just about everyone is up for grabs, but, who can win? Let’s take a less than perfect look, shall we?

Mitt Romney: He has nice hair and has the most “You can put me on that dollar bill” look that we all like to see in a President. He keeps replaying fixing the Olympics card, but really, you can’t compare that to dealing with China. His good grace comes off as almost wimpy, and it’s certain Mitt would get some disenfranchised Obama votes. Because he is the most liberal of the group, the leaders of the party figure he could win. He says he is an outsider to Washington, but he is obviously the favorite of Wall Street, which runs Washington, and  is why he keeps getting the center position on stage in every single debate. All the networks are owned by just a handful of companies, and THOSE big companies would like to see Mr. Mitt as President. He is the son of a Senator, and will continue to represent the rich…just the same as Obama does now. The rich, will continue to get richer under Mitt, but he would probably let us nobodies keep a few more freedom than Obama…like picking our own fast food.

In a debate with Obama, Romney would look very weak.

Newt Gingrich: Even though he took the lead for a while, Newt is like a sore toe. You can bandage it up, but when you put on your shoes and walk in it, you go back to being in a lot of pain. The ONLY reason we would want him over Romney is because we all want to see him dish out his quirky and witty professor knowledge on a man who can’t even decide if America is good or bad.  In office, Newt would be a lot like the Bush family, a sort of second cousin.

In a debate with Obama, Newt would far better than Romney, but they could dig up some pretty sad dirt on the man. Probably in the form of another sex scandal. Toe suckers just can’t help themselves.

Ron Paul: This is the man Obama is most feared of. He represents the last of our Constitution’s survival. He wants to end the Fed, which to Washington and Wall street, would be more painful than telling their wives that they can only go on one trip to Hawaii every ten years. Ron Paul sees it all. What he doesn’t see, is that one honest guy cannot fight the humongous Kleptocracty that is trying to rule everything. Without Congress behind him, he would really be a one-term President. The corporate boys are all in the bag.

In a debate with Obama, he would sound smart, but Obama would get him all flustered and he’d blow it.  All the stations, both FOX and CNN would attack him unmercifully until he would end up like another Perot. The people would vote for him, and then he would fade into the sunset. Both parties want a globalist into that most powerful seat, and GE, Monsanto, the corporations that the Supreme Court made into persons, can BUY the Presidency, and  will. (see tomorrow’s blog.)

Rick Perry: Who? Never mind his recent wonderful ideas, the man can’t talk. Until he comes to the rescue of Sheriff Arpaio who has endorsed him, I don’t believe a word he says. He manadated that vaccine. Really stupid. What would he mandate as President?

In a debate with Obama__do you really want to go there?

Michelle Bachman: Michelle, is better at looking presidential than Ron Paul. She would do us proud. But, they will not even let her near the gate. Even Ron Paul has said some nasty things about her, which should put HIM right off the list. He should be attacking Obama. Not Michelle.

In a debate with Obama, Michelle would look the weaker, unless of course the moderators give her a fighting chance.  I said that same thing about Sarah. They were both born with the high voices. Sadly, it’s true that even Einstein would listen to Michelle and not hear what she says. It’s the way we are all built. Example: Margaret Thatcher, had a deep sonorous voice…that commanded attention. Obama has that voice, and it got him elected over McCain.

The brain just works that way. It’s why these people hire consultants to work their images.

Rick Santorum. Poor guy, like Michelle he is put at the end of the stage. You may not think this is important, but imagine Rick Santorum at the center of the stage in every event. He be a front runner right now. The position that Mitt has now, has given him unfair advantage over everybody. The rich people, of course want their guy to win, so that’s what you get…advantages.

Rick would do fine aganst Obama. Better than Romney. He does have a good point…Democrats do vote for him. But, he is always at the end of the line. He is closer to the people. Therefore, he will always be on the sidelines exactly where they want you to put him in your mind.

Having said all that…consider the video at the top, which shows that no matter WHO gets in as President, it’s our crushing economic debt that will be our doom. China owns us.

The only person who actually has the guts and the knowledge to save us from disaster is Donald Trump.  I’m still hoping he gets in the race, because he can defeat Obama in a debate.

Donald is the only candidate who can broker with both parties, and the Chinese, who have planned our destruction, and are doing it one big grand step at a time.

That’s the elephant in the room that Nobody is taking about.

When the country crashes, it won’t matter what the color of you skin is.

Nobody would like for just once in my life, not have to “hold my nose” when I vote. —-Just once, before  I die.

Run Donald. This Nobody implores you.

Hannon Talks to the American People

Nobody’s Opinion

Some years ago, I was writing to various companies trying to get a “licensee” for my patented product. In every “inventor’s ” book I read, they all warned of the same thing to the lone guy trying to approach a big company.  They warned that all the big companies have the “not invented here” syndrome. This basically means they spend millions of dollars every year to pay people to think up ideas, and so, if some outsider comes along, they will have to sign an agreement that says in long pages of lawyer gobbledygook, “We will look at your idea but we might have the exact same thing being developed at our company (which of course, they don’t have to prove to YOU.) therefore, anything you show us can be ours. And you will…get nothing.”

In other words, you give them permission to steal your idea by showing it to them. You see, if you work for Monsanto, and think up an invention that pulls all pollution out of the air, at almost no cost, that invention belongs to Monsanto. Even if you thought it up in your own time, and on your own dime.

These books always warned you to get at least a “patent pending” before you show your idea to any big company, and when my patents were pending, everyone talked to me. What they didn’t tell you is that if you actually GET the patent, nobody will call you at all. In fact, they won’t touch you with a Joe Biden handshake.

What does this have to do with Daniel Hannan’s great presentation on America?

While Daniel does not touch the subject of “patents” and inventions, he does lay out what happens when you get government taking care of free markets.  He points out the way to wealth for countries is competition between them all, not financial markets controlled by unelected dweebs with good intentions. It’s also why when the big banks buy up all the little banks, and the big multinationals put the little businesses out of work, there is less competition. For example: McDonalds got out of Obamacare…how’s that going to work for you?

This Daniel Hannan speech was meant for all Americans. If you can find the time, it’s a great lesson for us all. Sorry I post him so much…I just think he is saying, more than anyone in America, what we all should be hearing from our leaders over here in the states.

As he basically says, America is the last hope. We MUST not give up on what the founders gave us. 

Enjoy

(The speech is so good, it will feel more like ten minutes, really. )

Tom Beebe’s Tax Reforms

Nobody Gets Email

As many of may or may not know, this dribble the Congress is doing about Bush’s tax cuts staying in our paychecks is going to make us all very happy campers, what they are NOT mentioning is the malicious taxes that are going to go sky-high as soon as Obama is out of office, in 2013. It wasn’t just Obama that did Obamacare, and there should be some kind of law saying that a sitting President and Congress cannot pass laws and taxes, which only kick in AFTER the next election.

HA!

What do you expect? Decency? Honesty? Representatives of the people? We have a liar of great magnitude for a President, and a Congress that is just as bad. Perry’s right…they should all stay home.

This was sent to me by a NOBODY who has given a decent proposal, for serious tax reform. It shares a few shades of commonality with Herman Cain I believe, but it’s his own idea. I’m sure he would appreciate any comments that you would like to give on his ideas.

(Thanks to Tom Beebe for sending this in.)

Part One

 

A PLAN TO REFORM TAXES AND ENTITLEMENTS

What is, to YOU, a fair tax plan? How can “entitlements”, including welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, be improved? Consider these ideas and please tell me your thoughts on them.  You can make this plan even better, and you can send it on to your Senators and congressmen to influence their votes.Americaneeds something better, something more honest, and above all something we can all understand.  Please send your thoughts to me too.

Tom Beebe                                                     -or-                  tbeebe6535@yahoo.com

This is a proposal to replace all federal taxes and transfer payments, also known as “entitlements” with a single act. Please understand that “all federal taxes” includes many that we pay each day, such as the tax on each gallon of gasoline, or the corporate taxes which are paid each time you purchase a product or service from a corporation; where else but from you, their customer, do corporations get money to pay taxes? Furthermore, these taxes are multiplied many times on their way from the source of the product to you. Taxes are paid by the retailer with whom you trade. He, in turn, pays his supplier taxes as part of the price of his purchases, and on down the road. You have a right to know, and will be astonished to know, how much you are paying in taxes. This plan is an attempt to reveal that amount by consolidating all taxes into one payment. Remember that by eliminating the hidden taxes, the cost of your purchases will come down drastically.  This is one of two ways this plan is aggressively “progressive”, a term describing taxes which are easier on the lower income households who spend a greater part of their income. The second element of this “progressivity” is the large personal exemptions.

The annual personal exemption is set as 2000 times the minimum hourly wage (2000 = 50 weeks times 40 hours per week). We have adopted a minimum wage as the least a worker should receive for his efforts.  How, then, can we justify taking some of that sum from him in taxes? This exemption is allowed for every adult (20-65) in your household, and is reduced in steps for those younger, and increased in steps for those older, recognizing the differences in the cost of living to these on the opposite ends of the age span. This formula may be too much or too little as the economy changes, so the plan requires Congress to reset the wage each year, In that “resetting”, Congress will be determining the federal budget, which will be forever balanced. Actually, because Congress has overspent for decades, the plan uses the past year’s taxable income times the new flat tax rate, also set each year. Result? As long as the economy grows (as it does almost every year), a modest surplus will develop to pay off the debt over a period of many years. When the economy grows rapidly, the amount taken out to repay the debt is larger; in a recession, that amount is smaller, as is the budget for government spending.

Now beyond “transparency” the idea that you ought to know what taxes you’re paying, and “progressivity”, the idea that taxes ought to be paid (more) by those more able to pay them, what other modification to the idea of everyone paying the same, the “fair share” of taxes should be part of the plan? It’s reasonable that government policy should be designed to maximize growth, again for two reasons.  First, “growth”, an increase in the wealth from which we all share, is in the interest of all. Second, growth means an increasing tax base. That in turn means more money to pay for legitimate government expenditures, like roads, law enforcement and other services without an increase in the tax rate. If this growth in the tax base exceeds the growth in the cost of government services, we’re getting more for the same portion of your income. We all want that.

What contributes to that growth? “Crony capitalism” and corruption   resulted in a lot of special deals that contribute to the growth represented by and for special interests. A plan good for no special interest is good for us all. This plan suggests three things are of universal value in assisting growth. Those three are education, health care and investment. So this plan exempts those three expenses from taxable income. It does so broadly, so that government is not telling you what educational choices you make, what health care (and health care insurance) you buy, and what investments you make, (and charity is an investment). You can make those choices better than can Washington.

Many states and cities have been getting into financial trouble. It is not the Federal government’s duty to bail them out, or even correct the practices that got them in trouble. But if this plan makes sense, if it could correct the revenue problems that the other levels of government have encountered, then the federal government can help them out by making the plan available, optionally, to them. But the feds should not impose anything on those other levels of government.

Finally, after all the exemptions are taken, some will have more exemptions than deductions. Should they be helped, and to what extent? Consider calculating aid by multiplying their shortfall by the flat tax rate. As with taxes, their assistance will be reviewed by and adjusted as part of the budget process each year. That way, everybody pays the same rate from top, the “billionaires” to bottom, the least among us. For those whose income exceeds exemptions, they pay taxes equal to the rate times the excess.  For the least among us, their income supplement, replacing Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and other “entitlements”, is reduced at the same rate. Is this fair to all?

Finally, if you have read plans that embrace sales or value-added taxes in lieu of or in addition to income taxes such as this, consider that an unlimited exemption for savings makes this plan exactly like s sales tax; if what you save is exempt, then you’re only paying taxes on what you spend.
