The more you pay; the less you earn—common sense eludes
savers
A new study looked at brokers/advisors who recommended
a variety of funds. The researchers found that for every dollar
in extra commissions paid to the brokers, they were likely to direct
an extra $14 into the fund that paid them more.
“They are influenced
by how much they are paid, and larger payments can tilt a broker’s ‘advice’
towards poor-performing funds,” said Susan
Christoffersen, one of the co-authors, who analyzed SEC filings from 1993
to 2009. Many studies raise questions about why most money in mutual
funds is still invested in actively
managed funds when they underperform index funds, particularly when they
are sold by brokers/advisors.

GOP crazies
The House voted to make tax
cuts permanent without offsets when key tax credit improvements benefiting
16 million working families with children are scheduled to expire. This helps
the wealthy without completing the tax reform needed by everyone.
GOP strategy for 2016: Many states don’t hide the fact they
are excluding Dem voters so GOP can win. Rep
Tursai (PA) said, “Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the
state of Pennsylvania , [is] done.”
The tactics
in your state are different.
GOP will receive $1B
from Koch
to win with Rubio.
Gov Bush denied
dying woman’s husband’s legal rights. Bush’s religion used to stop Michael
Schiavo from doing what every husband had right to do. Bush’s religion
trumped individual rights—opposite what GOP says. Is Bush law like Sharia law?
Supreme
Court has same religious followers! Religion trumps Constitution?
GOP favors
“individual” FREEDOM until it conflicts with GOP religion

GOP king-maker Koch
gets our tax dollars to rig elections
Koch Companies Have
Received Almost $100 Million In Government Contracts
David and Charles
Koch, owners of the oil conglomerate Koch Industries, are among the most
influential players in the conservative movement. The brothers have spent
millions of dollars funding right-wing organizations, such as Americans for
Prosperity and the Cato Institute that fund GOP elections. Koch refuses to
tell the donors.
Koch-affiliated companies have received nearly $100 million in
government contracts since 2000.
We pay Koch to elect
only GOP that vote for more contracts!
GOP quietly using
ObamaCare
Republican-led
states are placing pragmatism over politics when it comes to ObamaCare. Idaho Idaho is one of 12 states, along with Washington , D.C.

Capitalism works!—pay workers $20 hourly AND $5 dividend to
investors
Investors were pleasantly surprised—Costco paid a special
dividend of $5 per share separate from its quarterly dividend of $0.36 per
share. Costco will shell out $2.2 billion for the special dividend. Workers
earn $20 an hour and have health insurance. CEO pays himself only $650,000 not $26,000,000
like others.

What are we going to do?
Your broker/advisor has to be honest from now on
Brokers who recommend retirement-account investments would
have to put their clients’
interests ahead of personal gain under rules expected to be endorsed by the
Obama administration as soon as next week. At present, the brokers’
recommendations for 401(k) plans and other retirement accounts generally have
to be “suitable,” a weaker standard
that critics say permits high fees that eat into investors’ returns.
SCAMS Why are
we still
paying $700 Billion a year for WWII
deployments? That is 27
cents of each dollar in taxes—the largest part of our money—and we aren’t
even at war. We could pay off our debts and fix our schools, roads and
bridges!
We are paying for 164,253 of our active-duty armed personnel
to be in 150 countries around the world. We have about 50,000 in Japan Germany
Are we preparing for WWII again? There are 1,208,083[1] armed
personnel in the United States .
Our taxes pay for about HALF of the WORLD’s military expenditures
every year. We have wasted $398.6 billion
so far on the F-35 program—they can’t
fly safely.
We just can’t afford to pay for everyone else’s defenses
anymore.
Japan, Germany and S.
Korea can pay for their own defenses.

US learns spy software is deep in hard drives
The U.S. National Security Agency has figured out how to
hide spying software deep within hard drives made by Western Digital, Seagate,
Toshiba and other top manufacturers, giving the agency the means to eavesdrop
on the majority of the world's computers, according to cyber researchers and
former operatives. That long-sought and closely guarded ability was part of a
cluster of spying programs discovered by Kaspersky Lab, the Moscow-based
security software maker that has exposed a series of Western cyberespionage
operations.
