Online Profits

*** begin quote ***

Many people wrote emails to congratulate me for the launch of the Online Profits training program, saying that they think it is a excellent course, and that they would love to join, but they don’t have the funds to be able to.

Thinking about that I decided to run a contest giving away 10 free memberships (each one worth $288). Those free memberships will give you full access to the training program for 6 months.

No secret: I’m cheap. If I won six months free I’d explore it.
Paying 300$, I’m not so sure.
Maybe if I was a young risk taker, I’d jump on it.
Now, I’m always concerned about a “Mad Dog” (i.e., a faud). In this case, I’ve been reading some of these folks for more than a year and I think they are serious and believable. I AM concerned that (1) I’m untrainable; (2) I can’t do it; and 93) I might not WANT to do it.
Argh!
YMMV!

NJ: Budget “cuts” are too late, too little, and don’t “solve” the problem

CORZINE’S BUDGET “CUTS” — A SCALPEL WHEN AN AX IS NEEDED

Governor Corzine yesterday issued a budget proposal that tinkers around the edges when real solid cuts are needed. While the Corzine proposal requiring unions give up a scheduled pay raise is a good one, the Governor refuses to eliminate any of the thousands of state government bureaucratic fiefdoms that helped (along with the Governor’s own mismanagement and ineptitude) created this budget crisis.

Unfortunately, Corzine refuses to end the mandates on local communities through the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) — the group currently pushing 100,000 Low Income Housing units on every New Jersey town. And Corzine continues to support the Abbott court decision that has led to exploding per pupil costs in (Democrat-run) urban areas as high as $25,000 per student.

Meanwhile, suburban towns have had their state aid nearly eliminated — even though the sales tax and the income tax was sold on Garden State residents as a way to reduce “high property taxes.”

The State Gooferment politicians should be in jail.

Corzine, the financial genius from Goldman Sachs, earlier said “no problem”. Some genius. Anyone with an IQ higher than a rock knew that the state was out of control.

If a private business didn’t make it’s pension contribution for decades, then the corporate officers would be Bubba’s girlfriend.

But the State can just ignore it. And the State Workers’ Union is in the bag going along with it. Bubba should have them as well.

And, state pensions shouldn’t be for anyone who makes more than 75k. Or, any political appointee.

Argh!

FUN: Monkey Bailout Parable

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

FROM LUDDITE, FORWARDING SOMETHING ON:

*** begin quote ***

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He next announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his behalf. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: “Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each.”

The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars.

They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys!

Now you have a better understanding of how the WALL STREET BAILOUT PLAN WILL WORK !!!!

It doesn’t get much clearer than this…………….

Funny. AND all to true!

QUOTE: all politicians, of all parties, are fundamentally unqualified!

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

“Once again, we believe all politicians, of all parties, are fundamentally unqualified to decide how other people should live. We do not believe in top-down social engineering by Republicans, Democrats, or anyone else. We believe in critical thinking, limited, decentralized power structures, individual liberty, and personal responsibility.” — D o w n s i z e r – D i s p a t c h (DownSizeDC dot ORG)
