Will our so-called “representatives” in Washington stop
corporations from evading taxes?
Do you think that Congress will pass the Stop Tax
Haven Abuse Act (S. 174, H.R. 297) or will the lobbyists who pay
for their elections and perks (trips, staff, decorating, parties, fund-raisers,
planes, etc, etc) keep the laws that allow 19,000
businesss to use an offshore PO Box to
put their $ billion tax burden back on us? 47 corps moved in
the last 10 years. Burger King “merged” in Canada to
avoid paying tax. Who is next?

The income gap between workers and the boss is worse—3% vs
13% raise
Corporate lobbyists have so far kept the regulators from doing
what Congress decided in 2010: List the CEO ratio. Research shows that the
worker-to-boss gulf has been widening. According to a 2014 study, top management pay as a multiple
of the typical worker’s pay rocketed from an average of 20 times in 1965 to
295.9 in 2013. Another study said that the boss takes a median package of $14.3
million. Workers earn $7.25 since 2007 and were stuck at $5.15 per
hour for ten years.
Walt Disney, whose chief executive, Robert Iger,
received $43.7 million last year. Disney’s median worker received $19,530
last year. Who really earned Disney’s profits—Iger or the staff? “There is
no basis for believing that if companies don’t pay $ millions they won’t
attract top talent.”
CEO’s name their own directors who approve their own pay
contracts.
The largest five banks control HALF of American banking
The largest banks maintain 45 percent of the industry's
total assets. Too big to fail has come true—banks grew by 30% since the failure
in 2008. We saved their A** then but Obama and Congress have given up trying to
regulate their bad habits. GOP promise to shrink gov does NOT include a limit
on bailouts. It will happen again.

GOP voters say more tax breaks for rich is NOT the
answer—“trickle down” is dead!
A YouGov poll earlier this year found that only 29
percent of Americans agree with the idea that "lower taxes on the wealthy
stimulates the economy, with the end result of greater wealth for
everyone." A recent Pew survey found that just 27 percent of American
adults say the amount they pay in taxes "bothers them a lot." More
than 60 percent say they are bugged by their perception that rich people and
corporations don't pay enough. Kansas
tried the “trickle down” and it didn’t work.
Will regulators force your broker/advisor to be honest in
giving advice?
If the proposed regulations are issued by Obama, the
fiduciary “do what is right for client” standard would replace the suitability
standard that brokerage firms have used for decades. Brokerage firms
would need to disclose compensation and conflicts of interest. The industry
needs a new business model—help client—NOT sell the firm’s most expensive
products. Examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y6buvXsyto
Retirees beware state taxes
Some states make it hard for retirees to stay. Property tax
and rents are chief among the drawbacks to living on the coasts.

Survey says young Americans don’t need the advisor industry
Americans between 18 and 34 are a mix of pragmatism and
optimism, according to a survey
of about 5,500 American adults done by Harris Poll for
Northwestern Mutual. While younger workers figure they’ll lack the
corporate pensions and social safety nets their parents may have, the survey
shows they’re confident in their ability to improve their financial future.
More than 70 percent feel secure or very secure that they'll meet their
financial goals. Financial information is readily available on the Internet.

DEM & GOP crazies
Has our Congress re-created the government we overthrew?
Remember why we fought the British government in 1776.
Today our so-called ‘representatives’ are millionaires and
don’t know how we live. They are bought by lobbyists
and the wealthy. Elections are decided by money so now we have “taxation
without representation". Our “reps” have reversed the American
progressive tax system so that working people pay 32% and the wealthy pay 14%
or less. Our “reps” passed the repeal of the estate tax so the wealthy can
create family dynasties. They cut the services we need to pay for the
military-industrial complex. They let 2/3rds
of corporations pay NO tax. We are paying for 1,208,083[1] armed
personnel in the United States and
164,253 armed personnel guarding corporations in 150 countries around the
world. Those corporations avoid taxes by keeping profits in foreign
countries.
GOP crazies
GOP candidate Rand Paul wants to cut
taxes for the rich and workers pay more
His FLAT tax of 17% and 0% on investments is at the heart of
this misguided plan. Most working people don’t pay 17% income tax. Wealthy
would pay nothing since they live on investments (See Romney’s
return) and nothing when they die with estate tax repeal. Dynasties will
rule elections (CitizenUnited).
Corporations like Apple pay 9% now and will keep their earnings overseas. Since
he wants no IRS, corporate/wealthy could evade ALL taxes without penalty. If
there is no FICA or Medicare tax then seniors will have NO Social Security and
NO Medicare.
Back to the Middle Ages—serfs starved and dynasties ruled!
“Worse than Great Depression is coming,” he says. He
predicts currency collapse—complete financial meltdown. He says Social Security
and 401k will be taken over by government and taxes increased. You protect
yourself by buying some guy’s newsletter. SEC has fined newsletter guy
for this BS before.
GOP future President is NOT popular in own state and wants
to cut Social Security?
C. Christie is visiting friends in NH since NJ would like to
elect someone else. His poor showing in negotiating with EXXON has made him NOT
a native son anymore. Polls
say he is not liked—even among GOP—but loved by other states. To gain votes
outside NJ, he promised he will means-test Social Security and raise the
retirement age for SS and Medicare. How many voters will back him by cutting
these programs? He also flipped
back to support for vaccines after being against them last month.
GOP favorite Cruz has Wall Street money too
Bob Mercer, a reclusive hedge
fund manager who made his fortune using computer trading, emerged this
week as a key early bankroller of Mr. Cruz’s campaign start. He is believed to
be the main donor behind a network of four “super PACs” supporting Mr. Cruz
that reported raising $31 million just a few weeks into his campaign. Cruz
wants to eliminate tax on hedge funds now.
GOP youngblood Rubio cuts taxes too
If you live on investments, like Mitt, your taxes from
capital gains from a stock portfolio would be eliminated. Rubio also
wants a big
tax cut for families, by expanding the Child Tax Credit and letting parents
apply it against both income and payroll taxes. No plan for making up the
deficit this creates so we must wait to see how the poor will make up for the
rich’s tax breaks.
LA now allows people to discriminate for ‘religious’ reasons
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) supports the bill that
explicitly allows
discrimination based on an individual's religious beliefs," HRC
legal director Sarah Warbelow said. "Nobody gets to go into court for a
balancing test, there's no interpretation by a state judicial system. It flat-out
gives individuals a right to discriminate, period."
“I will not serve you because the Bible tells me not to,”
will be the norm in LA.
HEEEEES BACK
Donald has his birth cert. and he
says he will surprise us in 2016. "This time, I'm very far down the line,
so we'll see what happens," Trump said. "I'm
going to surprise a lot of people." In fact, Trump pointed to his
doubters as proof of the strength of his candidacy. "I'm going big,"
he said. "I get the biggest crowds. I get standing O's when I speak
because people like that they know that I'm not going to let China rip us off,
I'm not going to let Mexico continue to rip us off ... Japan is doing a big
number and nobody knows it."
Have you seen his TV ratings recently?
Even Wyatt’s Wild West had more
gun controls than Kansas where
crazies are now free to pack and don’t need gun training. KS had one of the
lowest accidental shooting ratio before.
States cut basic services as GOP consolidate statehouses
States are stripping food stamp benefits from a million
childless, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 49, according to the Center on Budget and
Policy Priorities, focused on low-income American lifestyles. For
instance, Maine has reimposed
a three-month limit (out of every three-year period) on food stamps for
able-bodied adults without minor dependents unless they work 20 hours per week,
take state job-training courses or volunteer for about six hours per week.
Usage has dropped nearly 80 percent since last year despite uneven job growth
in ME.

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 to defend
themselves.
The War
on Terror requires SEALS’ attacks on top terrorists at their
homes. Iraq proved
converting a nation to Western-style republic doesn’t work. The troops we
trained ran away. We are wasting
$4 billion a year on Afgan
tribal rivalries; paying ransom to Al Qaeda; supporting corruption with our
money.
NYC not guilty of negligence in death of 4-year-old girl
because she did
not call 911 herself while dying. Under established case law, to
support a negligence claim there must be direct contact between the injured
party or a family member and a city representative in order to create a
“special relationship” between them.
GM not guilty of murder—corporations are people
for elections but not when they kill
GM won't face lawsuits stemming from problems tied to its
deadly ignition switch, a federal judge ruled. The decision upholds GM's
so-called bankruptcy shield. GM acquired the shield as part of its bankruptcy
when a new company was created in 2009, referred to in court as "New
GM." GM knew the switch killed
drivers but kept installing it after 2005. Some law enforcement
officials say the information the automaker withheld might have changed their
investigations. In all, G.M. now acknowledges that the defective ignition
switch contributed to at least 47 accidents (a recent revision from its earlier
tally of 32), including those that caused the 13 deaths. Premeditation
makes it murder not negligence. Killing for profit is murder: $0.57 extra profit.
