Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Proposes Massive Tax Hike on the Wealthy

Saturday, January 5, 2019

The 29-year old congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just took office says tax rates for the nation’s wealthiest should increase to as much 70 percent to fund a new initiative to combat climate change — even if that means she’s labeled a “radical.” “If that’s what radical means, call me a radical,” she said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that will air in full on Sunday. “That

This is What Socialism Looks Like: Venezuela Oil Exports Slump to a 28-Year Low

Saturday, January 5, 2019

Nicolas Maduro Venezuela is home to the world’s biggest crude reserves, but the country exported only 1.245 million barrels a day last year, the lowest since 1990. This is what happens when a dictator runs a sector of the economy in socialist style and launches an immediate money grab.

The Elite Are Creating An Authoritarian ‘Beast System’, And Those That Dissent Could Lose EVERYTHING

Thursday, December 6, 2018

They are transforming the Internet into the greatest tool of surveillance that humanity has ever seen, and if we stay on the road that we are currently on it is only a matter of time until our society becomes a hellish dystopian nightmare.

Ultimately, we are heading down the exact same path that China has gone.  Their “social credit score” system is being hailed as the next great thing all over the world, and those that hate freedom of speech can’t wait to fully implement such a system in the western world.

Something to be concerned about!

I think they both should see a shrink.  In the daylight.

But maybe children can learn something from this … … “if all your friends jump off a roof … … ”

Tennessee news anchor sues over age, gender discrimination | Daily Mail Online

Thursday, November 29, 2018

According to the suit, in the two-and-a-half years before Kalodimos was fired, seven other employees over 40 years old were replaced with younger employees. In that period, Kalodimos wrote two letters to management detailing what she considered to be discrimination at the station, but it took no action, the lawsuit said.The conflict came to a head in November 2017 when former co-workers named Kalodimos as a witness in their own age-discrimination lawsuit. Much of the publicity surrounding that suit focused on Kalodimos, who was still an anchor.A week later, Kalodimos was fired. She was 58 at the time.

Doesn’t anyone else think that this pension is excessive?

Wonder how many taxpayers who will pay for this “pension” have a pension at all?

This is part of the problem —  current 18T+ national debt and the guesstimated 200T+ in unfunded liabilities that our posterity will have to deal with.

RANT: Are the Saudi Princes True Friends? – Antiwar.com Original

Sunday, November 25, 2018

Trump is unabashedly putting U.S. economic and strategic interests first. He is not going to damage our relationship with Riyadh and its royal family, even if the future king ordered a cold-blooded killing of a U.S.-based Saudi journalist he regarded as an enemy.

Well, I am not a “DJT fan boy”, but I think it’s not the job of the American President to be the world’s policeman.

I’m sure that there are many more terrible things to discover out there.

I’d like the USA to adopt Switzerland’s foreign policy and just MYOB!

GOVERNACIDE: Private Firefighters Prove That The Government Cannot Protect You

Saturday, November 24, 2018

*** begin quote ***

Private firefighters provided by American International Group (AIG) safeguard the mansions of 42% of Forbes’ list of the 400 richest Americans. Average Americans ended up burning to death in the California wildfires while private firefighters protected the empty mansions of the rich.

*** and ***

The existence of private firefighters proves that most Americans cannot rely on the government in disasters.

Rich people and insurance companies hire private firefighters because they know the government will not protect their property and lives. In addition, the government is probably not even competent enough to do so. The majority of Americans need to learn the same lesson if they want to survive.

ECONOMICS: Will China Adopt a Gold Standard to Boost Its Economy?

Thursday, November 22, 2018

Ultimately, a return to sound money is a solution that will do less damage than fiat currencies losing their purchasing power at an accelerating pace. Think Venezuela, and how sound money would solve her problems. But that path is blocked by a sink-hole that threatens to swallow up whole governments. Trying to buy time by throwing yet more money at an economy suffering a credit crisis will only destroy the currency. The tactic worked during the Lehman crisis, but it was a close-run thing. It is unlikely to work again.

The USA, and all the Western Gooferments, are screwed.

Their inability to “discipline” the “wants” from the real “needs” will be their downfall.

The USA’s current 18.8T$+ national debt (as of 2015) and the guesstimated 200T+ in unfunded liabilities that our posterity will have to deal with just tells you the WHOLE story.
