Good post Winzer, but what is a tree hugger ?
Do we need GATA ? Yes
Manipulation of the truth going on ? Yes
Governments and powers that be are doing a Mushroom Job
on average American & much of people in the world ? Yes
Inflation in USA, but statistics are not bearing it out ?
Excluding housing hot spots and French Truffles, seems very low to me.
But even if its not zero, it is very low. My big bag of Smartfood
popcorn has been $2.99 for years now.
I must be missing something ? That the bad guys are winning ?
I forget who, but yesterday two threader posted that article about the college
student needing and getting new credit cards to stay in the game. I wonder
if this is happening to the majority of the population in the USA,
those that pay most of the taxes, that will need to bail out the banks,
those banks having the credit debt not being payed back by the majority
of the tax payers over their heads in debt.
So, those taxpayers who did not abuse their debt_ability will be grouped
with those who did, and thru their taxes the Fed will repay the banks those debts.
But those in debt will have legal loopholes to reduce the amount of taxes
they pay, where those of no debt pay the maximum.
Ok, so the folks in debt get relief from their debt, thru the taxes of those
not in debt.
But then WHY does those things brought and consummed thru debts not payed
back remain with those who obtained them on credit_forgiven, and those who
actually payed taxes for the banks to receive, get nothing in return.
So who wins ? People buying with credit and never money.
Bank officials who gave out toooo easy credit, and the taxpayers,
mostly those who did not have bad debt, their tax money to the bank,
via way of taxes to government to Fed to banks(private).
Oops, forgot to mention that some people do not pay their fair share in
taxes, but we all knew that, those special Congressional little noticed
laws added at the last minute that only the lawyers of those persons' who
had the influence to lobby for them, reconize where and how to use them.
Like I said, for me I want corruption and poor government to be crushed.
Have the guilty punished, and those hurt helped. I hope and I work for.
But Winzer you asked, "I must be missing something ?", my real answer
is as follows. Until the bad is stopped and corrected, do what needs
to be done using the rules of the day created by the bad, and protect
yourself. Directly do not hurt others, but directly do not add wealth or
power to the bad people, eventho indirectly innocents will be hurt.
For example, for years now my federal and state taxes taken from me as
required on an ongoing bases, but at the end of each year using that
created by our Congress into tax laws I get back 98 cents on the dollar.
I am in the lowest of the low tax brackets, but the government is able
to use my money interest free until I "make" them give it back to me.
You can too.
